Penguins have an important place is Western cultural history. In recent years John Cleese and Graham Chapman have explored the subject on television while the existentialist comedians Dan Ackroyd and John Belushi have delved into the penguinal personality in the cinema. In the sporting arena, the Pittsburgh Penguins hockey team exemplifies both the graceful and violent nature of the flightless bird. Even the great Batman has been confounded by this complex subject.At the Saint Louis Zoo, the matter is not so taxing. Who's got a herring? Who's got a sardine? they seem to cry. Penguins can be your friends.

Oh they're very cute. Penguins always make me laugh. And I love that you managed to get the reflection too.
