Those comical little birds at the southern end of our planet, here are a few bits of trivia about them.

  • There are about 17 species of penguins
  • Penguins are found as far north as the Galapagos Islands
  • There is an island off the coast of Western Australia called Penguin Island, named for the penguins that frequent it.
  • Unlike some Hollywood movies where different penguin species are shown together, that does not happen in the wild.

Now for a penguin joke, I just couldn’t resist just one:

Why doesn’t the penguin wear tuxedo pants? Because their legs don’t have a long enough inseam.
