Study shows Magellanic penguins quickly get used to tourists and show no immediate deleterious effects of being gawked at by the humans. Magellanics live in coastal areas around the southern part of South America. The researchers are still unsure of the long-term impact to the penguins.
Penguins maintain their box-office power. Warner Brothers Studios will release Happy Feet in November. According to IMDB, it is a movie about a tapdancing Emperor penguin. The trailer, available here, combines on the only two good parts of Madagascar: the penguins and the dance number done by the lemurs. On the plus side, the animation includes several different, recognizable penguin species. Since the animators were nice enough to do that, we'll overlook that they mix Adelies and Rockhoppers, which nest on the ice-free coastal areas, with the Emperors, which nest on the fast ice.
