That was an interesting fun fact. Stay on Steemit and you will learn something new. I had to click into the photo to realize that it was not a painting.

Such graceful creatures.

This is probably the most amusing post I've read today:) What a fun fact hahaha. Greetings from a place not that cold! Upvoted

Is incredible! The penguin on the left side of the picture seems to express sadness for what happened to them in the Arctic. Congratulations.

Some of the most charismatic animals that we find in the animal world are animals with a lot of graces.

I wish I can spend some time with penguins, I love it and also dolphins. 

Thanks for sharing this information about penguins in the article.

What a sad story. They could have at least build a perimeter fence for the penguins to make time for adjustment and people to get familiarize with the cute animals. Maybe after sometime they can be allowed to wander around. Such a trivial information you have here.

Very good post ... I follow you and I support you with my vote, I invite you to see my blog you may be interested in something. Thank you.

I've Never seen penguins in their natural habitat.  Must be a great feeling to be in nature to capture this shot. The snow looks so pristine.  
Beautiful work.  Please keep them coming.

Thanks for the penguin stories

I really love your photos  @thomasjmitchell.  I must, because this is the 3rd Upvote I've done for you.  LOL  Your work is Outstanding.  I've always wanted to capture beautiful animals  like you have.  Well Done

I wonder how penguin tastes

I never heard of this before ... googling a bit, I found http://sorpolen2011.npolar.no/no/visste-du-at/2011-12-05-det-har-bodd-pingviner-i-lofoten.html - but this was in 1936.  The last penguin was observed in 1947 - and yes, the article also tells about one penguin that was killed by a farmer because she suspected it to be something sinister.

In the real arctic - like Svalbard/Spitsbergen, the penguins wouldn't have a chance, they'd be eaten up by polar bears.

While there are no penguins in the far north, we do have the puffins.

(I've been living in puffin land most of my life, yet I didn't get to see one until I bought a sail boat at grown-up age.  I was astonished - those creatures, I thought they lived much further north and much further out in the sea, but there were lots and lots of them just some 15-30 nautical miles from home!)

dang thats messed up

so sad if we look nowadays the pinguins and another animals in arctic have a problem about popilation 

keep share a nice info like this, so that make all steemians know about them

I always wonder how the penguins bear the bad weather. Do not you think about emigration and leaving this frost?
