Happy world penguin day!!
Tumblr media
I am going to go over some interesting penguins, they could be interesting because of their names or adaptions.
Tumblr media
These guys are the African Penguins. The African Penguin is the only one of 17 penguin species that lives in Africa. This penguin is also known as the Jackass penguin because they have a noisy squawks. These squawks sound like the braying of a donkey therefore getting the nickname the Jackass penguin. In the language Afrikaans they call the African penguins brilpikkewynn (pronounced bril as in brilliant-puh-kuh-vain), this translates to English as braying penguin.
Tumblr media
New Zealanders call these penguins Little Blue Penguins or just Blue Penguins. Australians call them Fairy Penguins.thw names come from the small size the fairy penguins have. Fairy penguins are actually the smallest species of penguin. The fairy penguins have indigo-blue or slate-blue feathers on their backs as you can see in the image above. The scientific genus name (Eudyptula) means good little diver. Fairy penguins do not migrate. They live year-round on their mainland or island locations in the southern hemisphere
Tumblr media
Some species of penguins propose to each other with a pebble. Adélie penguins are actually one of those penguins. When the two penguins are dating, the male penguin will give the female a pebble. If the pebble is accepted by the female the two penguins will mate for life. When Adélie penguins mate for life and return to each other at the same nest every year. The nest will be a pile of pebbles.
Tumblr media
The population status of eastern rockhopper penguins is unknown. The eastern rock hopper penguins are located on several islands in the Indian and Pacific oceans. The penguins specifically live in sub-artic locations, such as the Crozet and Kerguelen islands. Eastern rockhopper penguins spend most of their lives at sea and only return to land to molt and breed.
Tumblr media
At least 85% of northern rockhoppers are located on the islands of the Atlantic ocean Gough and Tristan da Cunha. of the Tristan da Cunha archipelago and Gough Island in the Atlantic Ocean. The population of the Northern rockhoppers has decreased about 90% since the 1950s.
Tumblr media
The Southern rockhopper penguins are classified as vulnerable and have decreasing population size. This species of rockhopper penguins live on the coastlines of Chile and Argentina, as well as the Campbell island in New Zealand. The Southern rockhoppers are found on several other islands in the Pacific, south Atlantic and Indian oceans. The Southern rockhoppers have a narrower stripe of yellow over their eyes than the Northern rockhoppers.
Tumblr media
The Magellanic penguin is the most common type of banded penguin. They are a medium to large penguin that have a thick black line running across their white chest. Magellanic penguins have white border surrounding their face. During breeding season Magellanic penguins are found on the Falkland Islands as well as the coast of southern south America. In the winter they migrate as far north as northern Brazil.
There are also some gay penguins. People have served penguins engaging in homosexual behavior since as early as 1911. The first documented case of homosexual penguins was not released to the public until a century later due to the report being "considered too shocking for public release".

Penguins in Falkland Islands
Tumblr media
The Falkland Islands are home to the charming Southern Rockhopper Penguins. These small penguins are known for their distinctive yellow eyebrows, spiky yellow crests and red eyes. They have a unique hopping behaviour, navigating the rocky cliffs and jumping from one ledge to another. Southern Rockhoppers form large colonies during the breeding season, with thousands of pairs gathering in one place. They feed on krill and small fish, and their playful antics and vibrant appearance make them a popular attraction for wildlife enthusiasts visiting the Falkland Islands.

Iwatobi Penguin: Rocky x Hopper
This article is part of our Japanese Obscurities feature. We put out a whole book about them, which is available as both a full color hardcover and a Kindle ebook from Amazon! If you’d like to see more of these features, please check out the book and if you enjoyed it, leave a five star review so we can do a follow up with even more interesting, offbeat, or historically important Japanese games!
An iwatobi penguin is what’s known in English as a Southern rockhopper penguin, known for their large bushy eyebrows and ornate head feathers. Rocky and Hopper are two computer generated penguins created for a series of hair product commercials by Japanese cosmetic company Shiseido. They’re cute and amusing, thanks to their lively expressions and ridiculous feathers, which obviously made them good mascots but apparently also qualified them for a video game. Focused primarily on multiplayer, with the support for the multitap for four players, it offers several types of minigames.

The Southern Rockhopper Penguin. . .🐧
The Southern Rockhopper Penguin (Eudyptes chrysocome) is a fascinating species of penguin. These charming penguins truly stand out with their distinctive features!
They are characterized by their striking yellow eyebrows and long plumes that extend behind their red eyes. With a length of 45–58 cm and a weight of 2–3.4 kg, they are the smallest of the yellow-crested penguins within their genus.
Southern rockhopper penguins occur in the subantarctic waters of the western Pacific and Indian Oceans. They can also be found around the southern coasts of South America. The southern rockhopper penguin was formally described in 1781 by the German naturalist Johann Reinhold Forster.
The southern rockhopper penguin is classified as vulnerable by the IUCN. Their populations face threats such as habitat degradation, climate change, and human disturbance.

The northern rockhopper penguin almost exclusively breeds on two islands in the Atlantic, Tristan da Cunha and Gough Island. There is still some debate as to whether the northern and southern rockhoppers are subspecies or separate species, but analysis of mitochondrial DNA indicates the latter.

Penguin Tournament!
Welcome to another tumblr bracket competition! I have been inspired by many other brackets, particularly @whaleswagbracket, to make a bracket about penguins!
(Penguins are my favorite animal, and I am a nerd, so here we are.)
There are 17-19 species of penguins, depending how many Rockhopper penguins you classify (out of Eastern, Southern, and Northern). For this tournament, since I only had 16 slots, I've decided to combine all Rockhoppers into a single species.
I've also decided to combine Macaroni penguins and Royal penguins because some scientists classify the Royal penguin as a subspecies of the Macaroni. I personally see them as different species, but I needed 16 species and this seemed the fairest. I wouldn't want to exclude anyone!
The match-ups are randomly generated. I looked over them, and it should be fair.
I will be including a fact or two, plus an image, about each species on every poll. :)
Here is the bracket:
