Penguins are actually notoriously cranky and will bite you if you try to pet them. They also decide within seconds whether they like you or not and there's nothing you can do.

This was posted 10 months ago, also on imgur, and I've several times gone back to try to find more information about it. This is the cutest penguin of all the cute penguins ever, but I can't find out anything about the picture. It's a giant mystery. I want more pics!

[–]ritz592 12 points13 points ago

He's actually a baby! Chicks don't secrete oil over their feathers like adults do, causing him to look extra fluffy. This is a black footed African penguin, we have them at the aquarium I work at. The oil naturally serves as an insulator to keep the penguins warm in the cold water, as they naturally are from South Africa, which receives cold water currents from Antarctica.

[–]Naggers123 2 points3 points ago

Jesus... feel sorry for the mommy penguin

[–]pyjamaparts 7 points8 points ago

He may also be underheight instead of overweight..

Can you please elaborate on how to have a penguin themed wedding? I am a fellow penguin lover and would like to hear more.

[–]OrangeTux 9 points10 points ago

He and the groomsmen wore tuxes.

[–]BakedGoodGoddess 12 points13 points ago

My cake topper were 2 penguins on top a 3 tiers cake that looked like ice with cracks in it. The champagne glasses were a penguin (a girl for bride, boy for groom) holding up the ice looking party of the glass. They were made by someone I found on line who made then out of clay. This was 10 years ago.

My Mom made penguins of 3 different sizes out of up side down terracotta pots (body), wooden ice cream spoons (arms)and wooden balls (heads).

I also found a bunch of metal and nice plastic penguins on sale after Christmas. We put blue ribbons on them and placed then with the terracotta penguins on the tables.

I love penguins. I have several decorating the inside of my car. My son has named then all after Thomas the tank engine trains.

[–]Just_Livin_Life 5 points6 points ago

Downvote for "Reddit Cakeday"

[–]Bugsysservant 8 points9 points ago

I don't understand the hate for the term "Cakeday". The cake appears on the anniversary of when your account was started. Not your birthday. And the account doesn't have a birthday, it was created, not birthed. There isn't some server grunting in agony for hours as your specific ones and zeros get saved to a disk. You click a button and boom, account. In that light, "cakeday" is a perfectly logical term. I suppose if you wanted to be pedantic you could be all "current-account-anniversary", but that's pedantic. Cakeday is fine.

(Also, it calls to mind cake. How is this a problem?)

[–]TheDroopy 1 point2 points ago

Much better than fucking "Real Life Cakeday". It has a real goddamn name for a reason.

[–]Blueriel 2 points3 points ago

Earlier tonight, I was rounding a corner after delivering a pizza and had to slow down to wait for this skinny black boy waddle like a penguin across the street with this giant grin on his face. It was mildly amusing, especially as it was starting to get dark so my headlights made him look a bit like a ghoul.
