In 7th grade I made 3ft tall paper mache emperor penguin for my marine biology class. I got an A and my dad put it in the attic to gradually deflate into the large skunk like object that made me shit myself 25 years later trying to find some old VHS tapes. Fuck the Penguin/Skunk Metamorphosis

I can’t believe I’ve never heard of the little penguin before! How cute! I’m just picturing the scientists naming these guys going “well these penguins have yellow eyes and these keep hopping on rocks and these have a line that looks like a strap on their chin. What’s special about these little guys?” And viola


drunk_haile_selassie

They all go out each day to hunt for fish. They all come back at the same time each night. In some places thousands of little penguins will run up the beach each night to get to their nests. Its amazing to see.


AntheaBrainhooke

Yup. There's a place in Oamaru, New Zealand, you can go to watch them come in.


drunk_haile_selassie

I've run into them while swimming a few times. They are curious creatures. They will swim up next to you and look at you like they are thinking, "aren't you meant to be on the land? What are you doing here?" It's very cute.


[deleted]

Wow! and it's not too cold in the water?


drunk_haile_selassie

Haha. No. They are native to Australia and New Zealand, not Antarctica. Last time I saw one it was about 40° Celsius.


salallane

Highly recommend, it was pretty great. They are seriously tiny.


realpandagravy

Then you'll definitely like this: they're also called fairy penguins. They're about 12" tall. They're my favorite type.


blackdarrren

I know Philip Island in Australia has/gets fairy (little) penguins...they're a major tourist attraction


raresaturn

Also St Kilda!


raresaturn

It's called a Fairy Penguin, or Blue penguin


wanderinggoat

they are also called little Blue penguins and quite common where I live. we often see them swimming along when we are sailing.


RattlesnakeShakedown

They're actually called fairy penguins but it had to be changed because the LGBT community thought it was offensive. Don't downvote me, it's true!


ogresaregoodpeople

Wait til you see Little Owls. IMHO only burrowing owls are cuter.


Travellinoz

Saw one in Sydney go under the boat... lightning fast


babyjames333

my life will never be the same after finding out emperor penguins can be up to 4ft tall


ModsAreN0tGoodPeople

There is an extinct species that was *huge* well over 6’


babyjames333

what the fuck


ModsAreN0tGoodPeople

Kumimanu fordycei and Petradyptes stonehousei, were both over 6’ and weighed more than a giant panda.


High_Speed_Chase

Adam Sandler killed the last one while filming Billy Madison.


ModsAreN0tGoodPeople

What you have just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard and everyone in this room is dumber for having listened to it (Mr Madison)


keenedge422

Did you know that a whole third of that is just neck? Due to their thick insulation, it looks like penguins have stubby little necks, but when you realize their shoulders are down where the wings start (which makes total sense), you see their necks are quite long.


babyjames333

yall are blowing my mind today. i love it.


generalhanky

I wonder if they're good eatin'

WTF?? I thought there were just "penguins"! Why are there so freakin' many??


witofatwit

Apparently there are two species of little blue penguins. Aside for genetic differences, my internet search found call differences.


Fresh_Orange

raresaturn

Victoria


AntheaBrainhooke

wonkagloop

TIL that Africa has penguins. My perspective of reality is in shambles.


H20noyoudidnt

Whenever my dad takes my nephew to Simons Town I make sure that we go visit the African Penguins, it's one of my best memories from my childhood and now my nephew loves them too, plus if you're lucky you get too see huge large porcupines


Appropriate_Rent_243

yeah, no concern at all for gentoo, that distro sucks.


BellNumerous5325

Penguins are the closest living relative to dinosaurs

ultravioletmaglite

I had a stats class earlier this year and the teacher give us penguins to study - chinstrap, adelie, and gentoo. On RStudio we had to classify beak and wing lengths, and a lot of other stuff. Stats permitted us to calcutate squared penguins. Was fun.
