I love those birds too - we had one as a mascot for our hockey team way back when... I love my HABS, but Pittsburg Pens have a fanastic team of young players. Sidney is only one of the Canadian players there...I can't hate them.

Those baby seals that Ciel is photographing in New Zealand are pretty special too.  Their eyes are so expressive.  It makes me want to hug one.

I am with you on the Pittsburgh Penguins, too! I saw this article this morning and I thought I would share it with you! My daughter loves penguins, too and yesterday Yellowrose55 brought over a penguin door cover for the holidays that plays music, too adorable! sam

BERLIN | Thu Jan 6, 2011 12:55pm EST

(Reuters) - A resourceful baby penguin took advantage of Germany's wintry weather to give her minders the slip and embark on a tour of the zoo before waddling into the lions' den.

A visitor spotted the African penguin, born in September, taking a stroll in the lion enclosure but the animal was lucky as the lions were asleep inside rather than braving the icy weather outside, Muenster zoo said on its website.

It took keepers a day to get the penguin out of the den, luring her out with a trail of herrings, the statement said.

The escape gave the penguin, up to then only known as number 459, a name. Her minder now calls her Leona, the zoo said.
