Why do I keep on thinking about the Penguins from Madagascar?

I thought that it was absolutely heartwarming that Roy and Silo wanted to nest an egg so badly. How sweet that they could care for a baby penguin.

I love these penguins and the nice zookeepers who gave them a real egg when they were building a nest for a rock.

There's got to be a way to distinguish male and female penguins from far away - I think males just might be bigger in stature, or something.

Actually, Magruder, I just flat out asked a park attendant to show them to me.

Plus, I found human gaydar works on gay animals, too.
