What is it about penguins that makes them so adorable and so popular? Is it their dapper tuxedo coloring, their upright stance, or their amusing waddle? Whatever the reason, here\u2019s the best of what the Web has to offer penguin lovers and student researchers.<\/p>\n

Discovery: Top 10 Penguin Videos

These short videos (just a few minutes each) showcase Discovery’s best penguin offerings. Criminal Penguin (first in the playlist) introduces an Ad\u00e9lie penguin who steals the rocks needed to build his nest from neighboring penguins, who seem oblivious to the crime. After enjoying these ten videos, click on over to Waddle all the Way for four more penguin shorts.<\/p>\n

Kidzone: Penguins

This Kidzone gateway page has links to three penguin sections: Activities, Facts, and Photos. Activities include printable worksheets, book recommendations, creating writing sparks, a printable mini-book, questions to answer, and a worksheet for children to summarize what they’ve learned about Penguins.<\/p>\n

Monterey Bay Aquarium: Focus on Penguins

“Penguins are appealing animals. We tend to feel a certain kinship with them. Like us, they’re social and curious, they walk upright and care for their young. Besides, they look like they’re wearing tuxedos.” Best click is the live video cam (from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. P.S.T) of the black-footed penguins, hatched in an aquarium in New Orleans but native to South Africa. “Watch our exhibit penguins as they hop up on rocks, dive and swim, much like penguins in the wild.”<\/p>\n
