🐧 Weekly #Penguin 836
This was a fantastic thing I didn't know existed until a friend from Australia sent it my way; a wooden postcard, by The Wooden Postcard Company. The absolutely lovely penguins are by illustrator Matt Sewell.
Today we joined His Majesty the King’s Guard Band and Drill Team of Norway at @EdinburghZoo for the promotion of their official mascot, Emperor Penguin Brigadier Sir Nils Olav III.

With extensive pre-fledge periods, long-distance commutes, deep dives, and comprehensive parental provisioning in harsh conditions — often to raise a single chick — #penguins justly deserve the accolade “super-parents”.

Raising an emperor penguin chick isn’t easy! 🐧 Male penguins keep their eggs on the top of their feet for about two months to keep them warm and safe. By the time eggs are ready for hatching, males may have gone around 120 days without eating anything! 😲 #AntarcticaDay
Happy World Antarctica Day! 🇦🇶
On this day in 1959, New Zealand and 11 other nations signed the Antarctic Treaty, which dedicated the continent to peace and science. Aotearoa is still a leader in this space to help protect such a special place.

Cases of bird flu have been found in the endangered African penguin. The lovely folks @SANCCOB need extra support to help with quarantine and testing. This is a turn in the road these poor birds can ill afford. Very sad times 💔
