We have a photo of him standing by the penguins, with a really sad look on his face because we told him it was time to leave! He has a collection of penguins made of many different materials. One of these mugs would be a perfect addition.

However my favorite species is the Little Penguin. There is a small island off the coast of Austrailian where maremma dogs guard a colony of Little Penguins so that they cannot be wiped out by foxes. The colony went almost extinct until 2006 when a local chicken farmer suggested using the breed of dogs he uses to guard his free range chickens, to guard the penguins. The population boomed from fewer that 10 to almost 200 by 2013! It is quite amazing! <br /><br />I also loved watching the many species of penguins the have at the New England Aquairam and all of their antics. Here is the website so you can learn more about the Little Penguins, Maremma Guard dogs and the conservation project. http://www.warrnamboolpenguins.com.au/index.php<br /><br />ashesmariea@gmail.com<br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06124217240457894382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-4493703284256786682017-01-17T18:05:19.217-05:002017-01-17T18:05:19.217-05:00You know I don't think I've ever even seen...You know I don't think I've ever even seen a penguin unless I saw one at a zoo sometime and do not remember.

He and his wife went to Antarctica last year and brought back oodles of penguin pictures and movies. My daughter spent a month in Argentina and got to see the Magellanic penguins. I am content to visit them in zoos.
