Penguin News Roundup

As posted previously, March of the Penguins won the Oscar for Best Documentary. The filmmakers accepted carrying life-sized plush Emperor penguins.

A library in Missouri has moved the children's book recounting the true-life tale of male penguins Roy and Silo, residents of the Central Park Zoo, adopting an abandoned egg. Such egg adoptions are known to occur in the wild. In response to complaints by two parents while the juvenile fiction work was shelved in the juvenile fiction section, the book is now shelved in the nonfiction section, where children never go unless they are looking for references for a school report.
