Cute Alert: Ralph the Penguin Needs a Wetsuit
We've seen penguins wearing a little something extra both for holidays and cold weather protection, but Ralph here wears this ensemble for an entirely different reason. Check out the crew at Marwell Wildlife in Hampshire, England and read all about it!

March of the Magellanic Penguins at the San Francisco Zoo!
All eyes were on some other Magellanic penguins at the San Francisco Zoo a couple weeks back— remember the love triangle of Harry, Pepper, and Linda? To recap that soap opera story, male Pepper got a new home when Harry took up with a female penguin.
Anyway, same species but different birds, these penguin chicks forge their way to a new home on Penguin Island in the annual March of the Penguins event.
The Scoop: Harry and Pepper Break Up!
Sad news to come out of San Francisco: Harry and Pepper have officially broken up . . .
Cute Alert: German Penguins Make Case For Gay Adoption
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.
Surf's Up For Little Penguins: Meet North . . . and South
Stop the presses, there's a new North in town. Granted not my town, and not even my pooch's species, but check out this penguin!
Tiny "North" was rescued along with his pal named – you guessed it – "South" from different beaches along the New South Wales state coastline.

Cute Alert: Baby Penguin's BF Is a Stuffed Penguin!
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!
Cute Alert: Rehabbed Penguins Get Released!
This technically falls under the sad 'n' cute category. Environmental disasters decimate animal populations, and oil spills are particularly horrible. These folks from IFAW (The International Fund for Animal Welfare), who rehabilitated penguin victims of an oil spill, got to release them back into the ocean.
High Tech Habitats at the California Academy of Sciences
Although geeksugar got a sneak peek at the California Academy of Sciences when she attended a video game release party earlier this month, she didn't really get to explore the facility as much as she would have liked to. Thankfully, Wired gave us a behind the scenes look at the high tech penguin habitat, and explained the benefits of running the facility on computers to replicate the light and temperature the penguins would get back in their natural environment. I'm excited for the new Academy of Sciences to open this weekend, so I can check out what other animals are hiding behind those closed doors!Cute Alert: Penguin Survey
Extremely satisfied is my guess.
