Penguin here.
Part of our usual winter woes is catching a cold (just like Blue Bear, my sister, and I did). But catching a cold isn’t all that bad when you have a cute kleenex box like this one to keep you company:

This is my sister’s kleenex box. A special thanks to her for taking a picture of it to share with us!
Now, here’s a picture of a goofy king penguin chick:

I love this picture of a Gentoo penguin with his/her chicks. Isn’t it adorable? According to Wikipedia’s Gentoo Penguin article, the Gentoo penguin is the third largest species of penguin, trailing behind the Emperor and King penguins. They also have a characteristic white stripe along their head.

A lot of special animal days are taking place this month.
Today, October 4th, is World Animal Day, a day meant to recognize all animals and the people who help them. You can read all about it here at World Animal Day. As you can probably tell, we love animals here at ACAD. If you want to learn some interesting animal facts about all kinds of animals, please visit National Geographic’s Animal Facts page.
I am subscribed to the Toronto Zoo’s facebook page, and today they posted an absolutely adorable picture of penguins. As you can also probably tell, I love penguins, and for that reason, we will be having an ACAD Penguin special!
These two little African penguin chicks were born at the Toronto Zoo. I fell in love with this picture as soon as I saw it. Aren’t these two little chicks the fuzziest and sweetest ever?

As you must know, I’m a huge fan of penguins (so is Blue Bear). When I saw this picture, I couldn’t help but decide to share it here on ACAD with you guys.
Here are some possible characteristics of what makes up an adorable animal picture (one or more may apply):
1) HUGE feet => the penguin has them
2) some chubbiness => check
3) much fuzziness => check
4) the animal is in some kind of goofy pose, or there is something goofy in the background => definitely!
5) some tiny things => the penguin has tiny wings, eyes, beak => check
Clearly this picture can be considered absolutely adorable and belongs here on ACAD.
Can you guess which one of us is the plushy toy?

Last year, the Toronto zoo opened a Magellan Penguin (a.k.a African Penguin) exhibit for the very first time. Blue Bear and I went to check it out and even took some pictures which we will post here on the site some time in the near future. According to cbcnews, penguins Gozi & Puff formed a couple and had this tiny little chick you see here! Isn’t this the cutest little penguin ever? I can’t stop looking at him/her! Look at those wings! Look at that beak! This little magellan penguin chick is the most scrumptious thing ever!
Yup, I'm soft and fuzzy too.

That title is quite a mouthful. Yes, as the title says, I’m sorry. I apologize very much everyone for my lack of posts. This was an exciting and busy week for me, full of novelty and a lot of learning. I think I’ll be more into the swing of things next week.
I was trying to imagine what I could possibly use as an animal for today’s post. Well, I decided the most appropriate thing would be to post a picture of a penguin! Can you believe how fuzzy and tiny our little Gentoo friend is? I think that he is an indescribably cute chick. Look at those feet! Look at those wings! Look at that beak! Ahhhh! This penguin chick hits very high on the adorable meter. We’re definitely a huge fan of this chick here on ACAD.
How’s that for an apology?

Hi everyone,
In case you didn’t know, today’s my birthday! In order to help celebrate my special day, I felt it appropriate to post an image of another fellow penguin. I don’t think I need to emphasize the fact that this guy is an absolute cutie. Look at his sleepy innocent face, his tiny wings, his downy feathers, and his large feet! I’d love to invite him to my birthday party.
What a fuzzy guy!

Hi,
It’s Penguin here. I thought that it would be very fun to post up a picture of a fellow penguin. This adorable penguin chick here looks like he’s either in mid-waddle or he’s testing the ground in front of him before setting off on a waddle. Whatever his motive for sticking out his foot is, he looks absolutely adorable doing it, which is why I chose to share him with you.
