Via Tim McDaniel, a piece of penguin silliness to kick off the Year of the Dragon (I am a Dragon):
The image comes from today’s Telegraph, where it has the caption:
Tiny Adelie penguins burst out of the freezing ocean, clearing heights of up to two metres. The two-foot flightless birds build up speed underwater before propelling themselves onto the ice.
So penguins sometimes do fly, sort of, but only for short distances.
