Mandarin duck! They're a symbol of wedded bliss and marital fidelity in China. And, y'know, awfully cute.
The swimming penguin isn't a little blue penguin, it has yellow plumes on its head. Not 100% sure, but I'm guessing rockhopper or macaroni.
Also, I think the big penguins might be king penguins. I think San Diego SeaWorld is now the only place in North America with emperors.
Oooh! I love the little macaroni penguins! They were wee fluffy cutebombs of notsosmartness.
WTF?
Well, that and wherever in Florida they were keeping Mumble.
Plus they go good with cheese.

Hee. So, high-speed Antarctic shuttle?
I have an idea - the government should create a giant emperor penguin tube farm that stretches across the 48 contiguous states. Then the emperor penguins come to you!
Penguin tube farm - delivered by pneumatic tube, should a penguin emergency arise?
I'm here to report on Matilda's words. Now in her almost 14 month possesion: Ma-Mom, Dao (also Da, that would be me), doggie, giddy (kitty), Bye (with hand wave) and Wow!
She knows who Emmett is but has dropped Em-em from her list for now. But she can point to his picture or room on command. And indeed, when I urged to her to, she ran over and punched him in the ass tonight. (Trust me, he deserved it.)

The whole thing is cute, but the early attempts at wailing on one's much older sibling is definitely hilarious.
