Penguins do have their special day and that is on January 20th every year. This is the Penguin Awareness Day, the day when the adorable tuxedo-clad birds are celebrated. The day is a scope for all to know a bit more about these little creatures and to pledge to protect their endangered existence. Not a lot of people know that not all penguins love snow and cold climates; Galapagos Penguins are found near the equator.
One should never confuse between Penguin Awareness Day which is observed on January 20th and World Penguin Day that is celebrated on April 25th because both of them sound almost the same.
The Penguin Awareness Day is the perfect occasion to know something about these cute natives of Antarctica. Grab a book on penguins or search for facts in the internet. Watching a documentary like March of the Penguins is another great option of observing the day. To honor the penguins, you can also pay a visit to the local zoo or aquarium where they have housed these creatures. If you have kids, animate features like Happy Feet, Madagascar and even Surf's Up is going to be great fun.
