	PENGUINS
		Penguins live as far north as the Galapagos Islands, which are right on the equator.
		What the penguin's feathers do is trap heat between their skin and the actual feathers and the penguin's body heat heats the air.
		Penguins in the warmer climates do not have feathers all the way up around their beak, instead, some are even missing feathers around the beak area instead, just to keep cool.

	ebook, Penguin Island Book 3 Chapter 5
		The Penguin critics vie with one another in affirming that Penguin art has from its origin been distinguished by a powerful and pleasing originality, and that we may look elsewhere in vain for the qualities of grace and reason that characterise its earliest works.
		It is difficult to form an opinion on the matter, because the Penguins, before they began to admire their primitive painters, destroyed all their works.
		I do not say the are all alike, for that would be untrue, but they have common characters that are found in all schools—I mean formulas from which they never depart—and there is besides something finished in their work, for what they know they know well.

		The French public was enthralled by a book that centered around the penguins of the mythical Penguinia.
		The material here is certainly not contemporary, as France's penguins poke fun of the Church, courts, military, politics and society of the early 20th century, but the themes are eternal, as is the humor and satire.
		As all the penguins here are used to the constant company of humans from the zoo's famous daily penguin parade, the medal ceremony for Nils' most recent promotion was a piece of cake (fish) for him.
