Cute Alert: Baby Penguin Born at Zoo in Chicago

GiggleSugar — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 04:00:00 -0700

The Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago just welcomed a new member to its family, a fuzzy little penguin chick whose sex has still not been determined. Look at its wise little gaze! It's a bit on the philosophical side, no? I shall call him or her Socrates.

Cute Alert: Pierre the Penguin Gets a Wetsuit!

Poor Pierre! At 25, this adorable African penguin was losing his feathers. This created a host of problems for the little guy: problems swimming, feeling chills, and getting picked on by the other penguins. But thanks to his handler Pam Schaller at the California Academy of Sciences, he got his mojo back. How? She had some local surfers design Pierre his own wetsuit! Not only did it keep him warm, but his feathers grew back and his alpha status returned, too. He's currently seeing a penguin half his age. (This sounds suspiciously like a "Hair Club For Men" commercial.) PetSugar tells me it's World Penguin Day! Yay!

French Penguin - He Is Cute, No?

There's a whole subgenre of videos featuring animals with French accents. I'm not sure why they work, but they do. Blame Pepé Le Pu.

Thanks, Ad Freak!

The March of the Humans (NSFW)

The March of the Penguins had way too many birds in it. How 'bout we replace a few (or all) of the birds with waddling human extras? For sex appeal, natch.

Man Thinks He's A Penguin

Over the years, Alfred David's interest in penguins has turned into an obsession. He's not just into them, he now actually thinks he is a penguin. He even has the suit and waddle to prove it! Alfred claims to have a wife, but she doesn't make an appearance in this video. Understandably.

Vanilla Ice Ice Penguins!

Last week, we watched Gollum and Smeagol, of Lord Of The Rings, get slugged with the Barry White bat. This week, the Ice Age penguins get hit with the thugly stick- but it's all good, cuz they know how to "walk it out."

Cute Alert: Baby Penguin's BF Is a Stuffed Penguin!

GiggleSugar — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 15:00:00 -0800

Meet Pingu and its BFF, a stuffed penguin. (No one knows yet if Pingu is a she or a he.) This baby had to be separated from its siblings because they kept eating all of its fish and it was getting runty. They removed the three-week-old Pingu, but then it got lonely! (Sigh.) Finally, they provided a cuddly, googly-eyed stuffed penguin for Pingue. It will be snuggling this amiable creature until it's strong enough to compete with the others in his colony.

Cute Alert: German Penguins Make Case For Gay Adoption

TresSugar — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 11:00:00 -0700

A pair of gay male penguins are raising a chick in Germany's Bremerhaven zoo. The little chick was abandoned by its parents while it was still an egg, so the penguins put the egg in their nest and incubated it for 30 days. Since the chick hatched, they have continued to care for it.

If you're wondering how the zoo knows the penguins are gay, the pair has tried to mate with each other before, and they've shown no interest in female penguins. The zoo says: "Sex and coupling in our world don't always have something to do with reproduction."

Of course it's unclear if this would be allowed at the Arkansas zoo, since voters in that state outlawed gay adoption last November. If you're curious, here's a rundown of where gay adoption is legal in the US.

Gay Penguin Pair Tie the Knot

These two gay male penguins love each other so much, and have become such good surrogate parents for baby penguins whose parents rejected their eggs, that zookeepers in Harbin, Northeast China decided to allow them . . . to get married. I have two questions. One, why can't this be the case here in the good ol' USA for humans, and two, why did the zookeepers dress them up if they're already naturally wearing tuxedos? That is all.
