Dennis......... South African penguins dare to differ Puffins we aint wcape.school.za ENCYCLOPÆDIA BRITANNICA penguin (order Sphenisciformes), any of the flightless marine birds of the family Spheniscidae. They are limited in distribution to the Southern Hemisphere. Although a few penguins inhabit temperate regions and one, the Gálapagos penguin (Spheniscus mendiculus), lives at the Equator, the majority of the 18 species breed on islands in subantarctic waters.

You all caught my attention with the penguin analogies and subsequent posts. Actually there are 18 species of penguin (check Peter Harrison's Sea Birds of the World), but some say only 17, there being a dispute as to whether one is a subspecies or a separate species. They live from Antarctica (Emperors, Gentoos, Adelies, Chinstraps) to the Western and Southern parts of South America and its sub-Antarctic islands, the Falklands, South Georgia(both East of the Southern tip of Argentina/Chile, Australia, New Zealand and their sub-Antarctic islands, South Africa and in the sub-Antarctic islands to its South, along the Western coast of South America and the Galapagos. More penguins are probably eaten by Leopard seals than Orcas, after they first skin them by violently shaking their head and turning the penguin inside out. It's quite a sight to see them jumping in as previously described and jumping out after feeding, and watching some of them (Rockhoppers and Macaronies) climb several hundred feet up land just by hopping when I can barely do it relying on all four limbs. Weekends - especially Sunday afternoons while awaiting the next week for Q (or NTAP or EMC to boot - hopefully not another Intel), do get a little wild around here. Hope this is more than enough on penguins. Best, John
