Penguins Are Cool This Winter
With the DVD release of Happy Feet, and Surfs Up penguins are cool again. I wanted to take this opportunity to share some information about penguins with you. They are very interesting creatures, and we should all learn a little more about them. There are several species in danger of extinction. Please take a look, and see what you may be able to do to help. The proceeds from this lens will be donated to the Global Action Foundation.

Baby penguins are born with soft feathers called down. The young Penguins count on their parents for food and survival, until they grow their juvenile feathers. The juvenile feathers are waterproof, and they can begin to enter the water and learn to find their own food.
Southern Gentleman, or Crafty Camouflage?
The penguins beautiful tuxedo pattern has a very important purpose. Penguins are counter-shaded for camouflage. What does this mean? They are white on the bottom, because anything looking up at them from beneath in the ocean will not see them. They blend into the white shimmer the sunlight casts on the water. They're backs are black, any animal looking down at them from above in the water will only see the dark depths of the ocean.
What Do Penguins Eat?
Penguins eat fish, squid, or krill. Their diet varies by season, by location, and species.
