      Yes I do like penguins, I think they are really cool 🙂 Whenever I go to the zoo I always like to visit the penguins during their feeding time! They are really entertaining going crazy for their fish! I also like the film Happy Feet 😉

      I don’t think there are many people who don’t like penguins, and I am not sure you should trust anyone who says they don’t!
      I know from working with them how brilliant they are, they always raise a smile and I have spent hours just sitting watching them. But they are also amazing animals, they are fantastic swimmers and can dive really deep, and can survive in extreme conditions (emperor penguins breed in the Antarctic winter in temperatures of below -40oC!)
      I know here at the British Antarctic Survey that whenever we have a science story about penguins the press (TV, newspapers and Radio) are always interested and we get coverage all over the world. It is no surprise that they appear on TV so often and not just in nature documentaries.
