Penguin Awareness Day
Flightless in the Antarctic
The Antarctic Circle is home to some of the most fascinating creatures on Earth. Penguins. Tens of millions of penguins. Flightless birds waddling awkwardly over the ice and snow.
Penguins have adapted well to aquatic life with wings that are more like flippers. Unfortunately, these sleek appendage are useless for flight.

Some would call it bad luck, being a bird, and unable to fly.

Imagine if these poor little creatures got the chance, just once, to fly.
And who’s going to tell them they can’t?
Penguin Awareness Day.
