All proceeds go towards penguin research and protection Galapagos Penguins do not leave the archipelago, and generally forage close to shore in the cooler Cromwell Current, returning to the land at night. Their diet comprises almost entirely of small schooling fish, particularly mullet and sardines of 1 - 15 cm in length, although some crustaceans are ... taken. Co-operative feeding is often employed, and foraging is restricted to daylight hours. Foraging rarely occurs more than a few kilometres from the breeding site.

"It was an exciting race but The Penguins won by a landslide and won the hearts and votes of millions," said Diane Willmann, Frontier Airlines director of advertising. "We hope Frontier fans everywhere, especially here in Colorado, have enjoyed seeing the animals duke it out to earn the distinct honor of being chosen as 'Denver's Favorite Animal.'"
Penguins have flippers instead of wings and therefore cannot fly. Though they are feathered they spend most of their lives at sea and must return to land to mate and lay eggs. On land, they either waddle on their feet or slide on their bellies.
