The lighter penguin is an elderly female whose partner died this year. The darker one is a younger male who lost his partner two years ago. Biologists have followed them as they meet every night to comfort each other. They stand for hours together watching the lights in Melbourne

And once again, reason 5,893,459,221 why I do not eat animals. I have no right to destroy life for my own transient gratifications when I can so easily choose not to.

Cookie the little blue penguin Cincinnati Zoo

he loves to be tickled (I don't) but he takes a little while to get over to his keeper bc he has a bandage on his foot. He's like a mascot. Little call screeches, his tail bump shakes back and forth. The woman trying to get him over there gently encouraging him . 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
