Dieser Foto-Blog soll die empfohlene Tagesration Pinguin liefern. Täglich frisch zubereitet (fotografiert). Oder durch einen Griff in den Arzneischrank (Fotoarchiv). Seit meiner Antarktis-Reise 2009/2010 lagern dort Schätze. Medizinische und fotografische. Für Generationen noch.

Penguins are said to populate only a very limited part of our planet. If you look out for penguins, however, you will start to discover them in the most common places. In the average European city. In your daily life. In your household. Everywhere.

Angeblich leben Pinguine nur in der Antarktis und an ein paar ganz wenigen anderen Plätzen auf unserem Planeten. Wenn man allerdings aufmerksam durch die Welt geht, stellt man plötzlich fest, dass sie an den ungewöhnlichsten Orten auftauchen. Oder an den gewöhnlichsten. Selbst Europas Hauptstädte sind voll von Pinguinen. Wien ist voll von ihnen.

More Penguin Independence | Die Unabhängigkeit der Pinguine




There is no denying that penguins are the most social types of birds out there. You can tell just by watching them in their colonies that they thrive on the interactions they have with each other. Yet they are very independent as well, creating their own burrows and piece of privacy for themselves. They often hunt together too which makes it easier for them to reduce the attacks from predators around them. (…)  


While almost all penguins do live in colonies, some reports of isolated stragglers here and there are reported. Instead of remaining with their group they end up alone out there and they readily enjoy it. This doesn’t occur very often and it is still something that researchers are very interested in learning more about.  penguins-world.com
