Penguin4 asked me to respond to some of the cards and letters and emails we received after Penguin5’s most recent post.


Gentoo576 makes a very important point. You might get the idea from this site that all members of Penguins United are Emperors. Quite frankly we do sometimes get quite carried away by our beauty and regal presence. But as Gentoo576 points out, we are a coalition of all penguins, for and by all penguins. She has sent along several photos of her friends and family:

Well it is certainly heartening to see the Gentoos out there.


Chinstrap6634 writes: “I miss Penguin5’s commentary about current events. For example, there are several important developments that affect every penguin. According to my friend Chinstrap11, a report published by the human-based National Academy of Sciences declares that: “Between 2000 and 2004, worldwide CO2 emissions increased at a rate that is over three times the rate during the 1990s — the rate increased from 1.1 % per year during the 1990s to 3.1% per year in the early 2000s.”


Several of us were discussing this alarming development on our way home yesterday. And I have an idea what Penguin5 might say: that’s pretty disappointing considering all the talk about doing something about the climate crisis.

Well I’m sure Penguin5 would have more to add, but until he returns, I’ll leave you with this:


“Why did the penguin cross the road?”




“To go with the floe!”
