Mormon women in New South Wales are knitting sweaters for penguins. Doll size, tight-fitting wool sweaters keep this breed of "fairy" penguins warm as they recover from exposure to oil spills off coastal Australia, dramatically raising their survival rate. (Photo courtesy of the LDS Church )

Nice to see penguins dressing down from the usual tuxes.

I can't descide if it's really really cute or somewhat disturbing... lol

If I start knitting now, can I keep one of the penguins?

You can knit penguins?

I might have to. For some reason, I don't think they want me absconding with their live ones.

It's disturbing. It's very disturbing.

Those penguins are certainly adorable in their little sweaters. And that's so nice of those folks to make them. But I can't help but presume that the penguins would probably be even more appreciative if we just didn't spill oil in their homes.

Penguin parenting skills.

I worry for the poor parents that have to get up early and dress the penguins every morning, pack them a lunch and send them off to penguin school.

Are there any latchkey penguins?

Have any penguins been sent home for wearing in appropriate dress like gang type clothing?
It is so tuff for penguin parents these days.

Even more worrisome is the question: "Do penguins living in the ghetto get their sweaters stolen from them and have to go cold and sweaterless during those long winter nights?"

It's nice that these penguins have a choice in fashion now. Choices just seemed so black and white back then.

But black and white is a classic combination!
