Fun Animal Facts, Thursday, Period One

Today, in class, there were penguins. Tiny, adorable penguins and one... not so tiny, but still adorable penguin waiting for everyone.

"Please don't ask how we got these here," Jane said, for sure making it even more suspect.

"Not for eating," Cara dutifully recited off her note. "For the record that was written in all capitals."

"...people eat them?" Oh, the horror on Jane's face.

"I mean, I don't think they'd have enough meat on them to be worth the effort," Cara tried, carefully not looking at the giant fluffball.

Said fluffball waddled along to lean against Cara's legs. Clearly think she was his mother.

"But penguins," Jane said, shaking that off and looking at the notes. "Are a flightless bird, native mostly to the southern hemisphere. A group of them on land is called a waddle. That's pretty adorable."

"Yes, adorable," Cara deadpanned as she nudged the penguin away. Though at least it wasn't trying to eat them.

Oh, no, Cara. He loved you.

It was not mutual.

"And since we're in the northern hemisphere, we'll take this time to let you all get familiar with the penguins," Jane added.

"Apparently we have fish for them." In two different sizes, obviously.

I got to pet a penguin once at the Audubon Aquarium and I need to let you know they are surprisingly soft.

How could anyone eat something so adorable?

The fish smelled, of course, but Belle was still happy to feed the tiny penguins. And the less tiny one should he be pried away from Cara at some point.

"Awww, hello, there, good sir!" Graham didn't know Penguin, so he was hoping the Penguin knew English! And they were clearly fancy lads because of how they were dressed, so of course he doffered his hat and offered a bow. "How's it going? You guys hungry for some delicious fish??"

Because Graham was sure ready to feed them, and would do so with enthusiasm.

"Hey, guys," Gray said as he sat down on the floor with the penguins. "Who wants to take a nap?" They looked cuddly. Especially the big guy.
