THIS is why penguins are ahead of the game.
If I ever give you an interesting rock without uttering a word, you should know that that is the highest form of love I am capable of displaying and the highest honour I can bestow upon you

In French, Gentoo penguins are called "Manchots Papous", or Grandfather penguins, due to the signature white feathers surrounding their head. I think this name makes more sense, personally. The etymological reason for their English name has been lost to time! Quel myst猫re !
En anglais, les <<Manchots Papous>> sont appellent <<Gentoo Penguins>> ! Quel bizarre. Qui sont les <<gentoos>>, et ont-ils les cheveux grises aussi?

Gentoo Penguins can launch themselves up to nine feet into the air when they are done swimming. This is thanks to their streamlined bodies and uber-strong flippers.

The Gentoo Penguin's call sounds like a clown's nose honking!
