Penguin Awareness Day

CaroleHeidi

The 20th January (today) is an important day to make sure all penguins are aware.

And for you to be aware of them.

Be aware that they are in decline and need your love and support.

Be nice to penguins today.

P…p…p…p…p…p…p…p…p…pick one up* and laugh at its joke supportively, even if it’s rubbish and you’ve heard it ten times before.

Penguins in their Edinburgh Zoo enclosure. They smell of fish and poop and water. Yes, you can smell it through the picture, that's how much they stink.
A pair of penguins made of recyclable material stand outside the Penguin Cafe at Edinburgh Zoo.
A penguiphant I saw at Edinburgh Zoo (elephant statue painted as a penguin)

(I think the penguins and… penguiphant? pictured above were the last penguins I was aware of in person and were all found at Edinburgh Zoo.)

*Please do not pick up any *real* penguins you may happen to meet today. Unless it is a genuine part of your job. I am not encouraging penguin theft – mostly for your benefit because they stink, projectile poop, and make truly horrible noises. You do not want one in your house.

Please leave a comment, I'd love to hear what you think :)
