Sabias que hoje é o Dia do Pinguim? Pois cá estamos nós a celebrar este belo animal polar.
Feliz Dia do Pinguim !
Hoje, 25 de Abril é Dia do Pinguim ! Impossível imaginar o mundo onde não houvesse pinguins. De modo a celebrar os nossos divertidos amigos de barbatanas finas, talvez seja bom reunir algumas curiosidades sobre pinguins.
Umas são divertidas, outras são factos, e ainda outras a junção das duas características - divertidas e factos - ao mesmo tempo.

Happy World Penguin Day everyone! Did you know it ?
"It’s World Penguin Day today, April 25th, and I simply can’t imagine a world that didn’t have penguins in it. So in order to celebrate our funny fine-flippered friends I thought it would be good to pull together some fun facts about penguins. Some are fun, some are facts, and some are both at once."

All wild penguins live in the Southern Hemisphere, and although they are synonymous with the ice, only two species live on the continent of Antarctica. The Galapagos penguin is the only penguin that ever naturally ventures into the Northern Hemisphere on especially long feeding trips. Read more here

What's your favourite species?
Is it little blue penguins like these? These guys were released back into the wild in 2011 after being rescued and cleaned up following the Rena oil spill disaster.
These little blue penguins were contaminated by oil after the Rena Oil Spill disaster in New Zealand. They were released into the ocean in 2011 after being cleaned at the oiled wildlife facility.
Hope you like our Penguin Day celebration.
