Examples. 1  Only if they make it in plush, as the hideous likenesses of all good interplanetary space beings ought to be. 2  It turned us on to the fact that Geeks (and I use the term to include myself - I'm possibly the nerdiest guy Jon knows) have an interest in plush toys that are conceptually ironic.
Penguins (order Sphenisciformes, family Spheniscidae) are a group of aquatic, flightless birds living almost exclusively in the Southern Hemisphere, especially in Antarctica. Highly adapted for life in the water, penguins have countershaded dark and white plumage, and their wings have evolved into flippers.n the mid-2000s, penguins became one of the most publicized species of animals that form lasting homosexual couples. A children's book, And Tango Makes Three, was written about one such penguin family in the New York Zoo.
Emperor penguins are truly amazing birds. They not only survive the Antarctic winter, but they breed during the worst weather conditions on earth. Our research aims to learn more about the penguins (how they live, where they go, what they do, and what they need to survive), and how human activities may impact on their lives and survival chances. The emperor is the largest of the 18 penguin species; adults can weigh up to 40 kg at the start of the breeding season. Historically, there were a number of penguin species even larger than emperors weighing perhaps 100 kg! Unfortunately these mega-penguins became extinct several tens of thousands of years ago.
