A Pair of Penguins by Heather Ward
I had the chance recently to visit the New England Aquarium with my daughter. They have a wonderful penguin exhibit there, with three different species. These are African penguins, the only species of penguin that breeds in Africa. Here, I have removed them from the indoor exhibit of fake rocks in a large pool to the more natural setting of a rocky South African shoreline. These birds are monogamous and listed as a vulnerable species. This drawing was done with charcoal and graphite on smooth bristol paper. The original 9”x12” unframed drawing is available.

Gentoo Penguin "Pygoscelis papua" #1 by Rosie Appleton
At Waterboat Point, Antarctica Gentoos breed on many sub-Antarctic islands. The main colonies are on the Falkland Islands, South Georgia and Kerguelen Islands; smaller populations are found on Macquarie Island, Heard Islands, South Shetland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula. The total breeding population is estimated to be over 300,000 pairs. Nests are usually made from a roughly circular pile of stones and can be quite large, 20 cm high and 25 cm in diameter. The stones are jealously guarded and their ownership can be the subject of noisy disputes between individual penguins. They are also prized by the females, even to the point that a male penguin can obtain the favors of a female by offering her a nice stone. Two eggs are laid, both weighing around 500 g. The parents share incubation, changing duty daily. The eggs hatch after 34 to 36 days. The chicks remain in the nests for about 30 days before forming creches. The chicks molt into sub-adult plumage and go out to sea at about 80 to 100 days. Status -Near Threatened (IUCN Red List) – Wikipedia

THAT'S MINE !! by mlynnd
This was taken at the Brookfield Zoo, by the penguin’s. They were being feed fish by hand. Looks like this guy was holding the other one down, so he would not take the fish. Taken was a Canon 40D.

Gentoo Penguin ~ A cry for HELP ....... My world is melting by Robert Elliott
100% of proceeds received from Redbubble in respect to sales of this item, will be donated to Bush Heritage Australia Photo of Gentoo Penguin taken at Neko Harbour, Antarctic mainland. The Gentoo Penguin is listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red list of Threatened Species Melting sea ice and overfishing have triggered a dangerously rapid decline in penguin populations on the Antarctic peninsula – a direct result of global warming, warns a new report from the WWF. Temperatures on the frozen continent are rising five times faster than the global average due to the unprecedented rate of climate change, pushing four species perilously close to extinction. Warmer temperatures are forcing penguins to raise their young on increasingly thinner and more precarious ice floes, while stronger winds mean many eggs and chicks are being blown away from their parents before they are able to survive on their own. The gentoo, chinstrap and adélie – along with the emperor, the largest penguin species in the world – are now struggling to survive as melting sea ice destroys nesting sites and reduces vital food sources, such as krill.

Fire Elemental by Michael Beddall
Date: 2009 / Technique: Oil on canvas / Size: S4 (33×33 cm) A good example of working a painting to death. This took forever to do, and I’m still not satisfied with it. Fire is hard to paint!! Any comments on how I may be able to improve this, or things I might have done differently, are welcome. Basically the idea for this painting came to me after watching the movie ‘March of the Penguins’. I wondered at these amazing creature’s ability to survive in the coldest, most inhospitable place on earth. I figured they must be little mini furnaces…

Taken by Ken Gilliland
2 Petrels face Penguin fury after snatching one of their young. The Southern Giant Petrel is a scavenger by nature but will hunt stray Penguins (and especially chicks) if the opportunity arises. This Petrel is also known as “the stinker” because of its’ ability regurgitate a foul-smelling oil which they spit at intruders. Rendered in Vue 7i with very minor postwork using the artist’s digital 3d bird creations. (songbirdremix.com)
