The Penguin

1 Conversation

A penguin is a small, in most cases black and white bird living in the southern hemisphere, and for some reason on the Galapagos Islands. There are several different species of penguins, such as the blackfooted/jackass penguin, the Emperor penguin, and the fairy penguin, the last of which isn't black and white, it's blue and white.
The place penguins live is the Galapagos islands, Australia, and the southern parts of Africa and Antarctica. The penguin has an interesting variety of plumage: smooth and all wacky. The "all wacky" kind of plumage starts at a 50-degree angle and from there goes to 90 degrees. The blackfooted penguin is an example of this.
The penguin can also be found on Linux boxes. The penguin is possibly the symbol for Linux because both are equally difficult to install on one's computer.
