  1. Don’t know about you but I didn’t know today was “World Penguin Day.” I was also unaware of the “waddle” and “raft” meanings in this context. I’m also kinda partial to that “Herky bird.”

    “Today is World Penguin Day! Here is a waddle of emperor penguins marching in front of a ski-equipped U.S. Navy LC-130 in Antarctica in 1987. Did you know that a group of a penguins on land is called a ‘waddle’ but a group in the water is called a ‘raft’?” - U.S. Naval Institute

  2. En el margen del día del pingüino sale un hilo con mis wejoluches. Cada uno con una descripción lo más blind friendly posible y con el lore.

    Did you know , the mascot penguin, was designed by programmer Larry Ewing in 1996 as a submission to a contest to create the Linux logo? Although his entry did not win, the artwork was adopted by the Linux community as the iconic brand character. The name “Tux” comes from “Torvalds’ UniX” and refers to the black-and-white tuxedo appearance of penguins.

  13. April 25 is #WorldPenguinDay so enjoy some Adélie penguins! ⠀


    This handsome couple, two Adélie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae), common to all the Antarctic coasts, are hand printed in black ink with a hint of orange on white Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper. Each print is 12.5” by 9.25” (31.8 cm by 23.5cm). Adélie penguins are the most widely spread and southernly penguins (along with the Emperor penguins).⠀

  14. #PhotoOfTheDay: Did you know that #Penguins are the second-most threatened bird group in the world? Climate change, overfishing, diseases, and habitat destruction are threatening these charismatic aquatic birds.

    When the sea ice gets too thin, it can break out early and penguin chicks may drown.

  15. 🐧 Penguins provide many beneficial services to our planet, but they are also among the most endangered species.

    The EU is committed to protect penguins across the globe through large-scale biodiversity funding, such as the BEST and the #LIFEProgramme

  17. Happy #WorldPenguinDay everyone! (photo disclaimer: Penguins do not try this at home. You are flightless birds)

  18. Happy #WorldPenguinDay! Here's a photo of me trying to bond with some penguins in Antarctica taken by my colleague @phoebejlam.bsky.social, who just joined Bluesky 10 minutes ago. Give her a follow for more penguin content, maybe.

  19. I woke up super early this morning, the one year anniversary of the Cancer surgery that saved my life. Also, apparently, today is #WorldPenguinDay. So, I drew penguins holding up protest signs that read "ffck cancer" and "ffck fascists" for today's #inkyDays drawing.

  20. Man, these penguins sure are getting pushy... but since it's , and one of our favorite subjects... we'll allow it. 🐧

  21. #GutenMorgen Fediland. ☕
    Da fragt man einmal in die Runde, ob alle bereit sind für den Abflug ins Wochenende und schon ist wieder einer beleidigt.
    Euch einen schönen #Freitag.

  24. Dzisiaj wypada Międzynarodowy Dzień Pingwinów 🐧

    Przedstawiam wam zatem Kokosankę i Tuxa, bardzo znane pingwiny :)

    Kokosanka to albinotyczna pingwinka z ZOO w Gdańsku (zdjęcie ze strony ZOO).

    A Tux to chyba wszystkim znana maskotka Linux-a. Rysunek Tuksa stworzył w 1996 r. Larry Ewing, korzystając z bezpłatnego programu graficznego GIMP. Gdybyście chcieli wiedzieć, bo to warunek publikacji jego wizerunku 😉

    Z Pingwinkiem Tuxem jestem na co dzień, chyba się lubimy, czego i Wam życzę w ten wyjątkowy dzień w roku 🐧 🗓️

    Glück für euch, das noch kein Geruch digital festgehalten werden kann.
