To finish out penguin week, here are some inspirational words from our fine feathered flightless friends.

Have a good weekend!

Dr. Kool is in the house

One day a man was walking down the street when he saw a penguin ahead of him. He took the penguin and they became best friends.

One day the police saw them walking and so he told the man that he need to take the penguin to the zoo.The man said ok

The next day he saw them walking again
"I thought i told you to take that penguin to the zoo" said the police
" I did "said the man " and now i am taking him to the movies!"

All dressed up and nowhere to go

This little emperor penguin will grow up to be among the tallest and heaviest of penguins, our favorite flightless bird. These poor birds endure the harshest of arctic conditions and have to walk 70 miles to get food after months of not eating... yet remain unceasingly cute and cuddly.

Macaroni penguins are the most numerous of all the world's penguins. They live in at least 216 colonies at 50 sites in places such as Chile, South Africa, and the Antarctic Peninsula. It is thought that Macaroni penguins were named based on the song Yankee Doodle because of the "feather in their caps."

All Hail Petty, friend of Pororo, the Little Penguin

Pororo has a friend, who's name is Petty. Here is a description of Petty, as taken from the website:
“Friendly and sociable penguin girl, Petty.
Petty is very open-hearted and gets along well with friends right after
She moves to the village. Although she looks very feminine,
She has a talent for every sport like soccer, running, swimming and etc.
Which other friends admire her about. Her friends are impressed with
Her easy going personality, but her cooking is very poor.”

Pororo is from Korea, not Japan...

Have YOU joined the club?

Tufty the Traffic Safety Squirrel has a mission - to save all rabbits, badgers, hedgehogs, and even weasels from unsightly traffic-related deaths. Some find him to be an innocent protector of children, some feel he is the "mastermind behind squirrel world domination." What do you think? Would YOU join Tufty's club?

Girls who love Skwirls

[The camera turns again to Briar Rose. She's surrounded by the animals of the forest, picks berries and sings]

Briar Rose:

I wonder,
I wonder,
I wonder why each little bird
Has a someone to sing to
Sweet things to
A gay little love melody.
I wonder,
I wonder,
If my heart keeps singing
Will my song go wing-ing
To someone
Who'll find me
And bring back a love song
To me!

[speaking more to herself than to the birds, but they listen and answer her]
