Penguin Awareness Day, and World Penguin Day are opportunities to learn about and appreciate one of the few natives of Antarctica. On these days, spend a little time learning about Penguins. Reading a pictorial book or searching the internet site for information on Penguins is fun. You can also watch a documentary of these cute and popular, Penguins.
These days are also a time to wear black and white. Penguin colors. However, wearing a tuxedo in the Penguins honor is optional. It is also popular to tell a penguin joke or two.

World Penguin Day coincides with the annual northward migration of Penguins. This happens each year on or around April 25th. Penguins do not fly. Rather, Penguins walk, or waddle their way to and from.
Our research did not uncover any information about the origin of Penguin Awareness Day. And, we found no consensus on the date. Rather, we found several conflicting dates in January.
Penguins are found in Antarctica, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Chile, Peru, the Falkland Islands, and the Galapagos Islands. Elsewhere, Penguins are only found in Zoos.
