The Things I've Learned...

I recently went and saw the movie 'March of the Penguins.' I thought that this was an excellent movie and one that I hope they (meaning Hollywood) make more of. I'm real tired of the normal smut and filth that is being pumped out. There is no intelligence or moral value in those movies. Just an attempt to score some money by exploiting the masses. Anywho, enough ranting already. The movie 'March of the Penguins' is a wonderful movie that I would recommend you go see. I thought I could post some of the cool things that are told about the Emperor Penguins in this movie but I'd rather you see the movie and find out that way. After seeing the movie though my friend and I started talking about what other kinds of penguins are out there. I wasn't real sure so I looked it up and thought I would post some info about them instead.

To start off, here is a list (with links) of the different penguin species and where they are from:

• Emperor Penguins : Antarctica
• Gentoo Penguins : Antarctica, Antarctic Islands, Falkland Islands
• King Penguins : Antarctic Islands
• Rockhopper Penguins : Falkland Islands, New Zealand, Antarctica
• Magellanic Penguins : South America, Falkland Islands
• Galapagos Penguins : Galapagos Islands
• Adelie Penguins : Antarctica
• African Penguins : South Africa
• Little Penguins : Australia, New Zealand
• Royal Penguins : Antarctic Islands
• Yellow-Eyed Penguins : New Zealand
• Snares Island Penguins : New Zealand
• Chinstrap Penguins : Antarctica
• Humboldt Penguins : South America
• Macaroni Penguins : Falkland Islands, Antarctic Islands
• Fiordland Penguins : New Zealand
• Erect-Crested Penguins : New Zealand

It is interesting to note that there are no penguins found north of the Equator. You'd think that the Arctic would be a good region for them but they choose not to head that way. I thought that was really odd. Anyway, checkout those links above to learn more about the different species. The main page for that site can be found here.

So again, go check out the movie 'March of the Peguins.' You won't regret it.
