Penguin Waddle

by Mary Van den Broek

I have always had a fascination with penguins. They spend half their life at sea(raft of penguins) and the male penguin(cocks) looks after the egg while the hen goes of looking for food. While on land the penguins are called a waddle. Most species of penguin are in the southern hemisphere and the larger penguins tend to live at colder climates. Hoping we can keep the earth as suitable habitat for Penquins and not have to put up with metal replicas!

Penguins are made from perforated steel that is most commonly used for fabricating heating flue concealer panels. I hope the surprise of seeing a common material in a new penguin shape draws attention to the possible future survival of penguins and other species that prefer a cooler climate, including humans.
