Penguin and Fidelity


Penguin and chick

When the french documentary "The March of the Penguins" was shown in USA earlier this year, it was hailed by many christian conservatives as a highly recommended movie with many fundamental christian lessons to be learnt...particularly the superiority of monogamy demonstrated by the emperor penguin. Alas,penguins, we learn, are monogamous, but only for one season.After that, it is thank you for the memory and sayonara forever.In fact...from reliable sources...the emperor penguin is also highly comfortable with similar sex. Anyway, i dont know why a certain kingfisher is so keen in this issue of fidelity among the penguins...different species really.

Hi BF

Only the American Bald Eagle and the Swan mate for life in the bird kindom as far as I am aware. (I am no expert admittedly) Alas, there are always exceptions. Not all penguin breeds are faithful either, even within the mating season. There is a breed of penguin whereby when the male presents the female with a medium sized stone, she will mate with said male... I was hoping this would be dealt with in "March of the Penguins" as the adulterous liasons of the French are legendary... quite 'de riguer' n'est pa?

... as for a certain Kingfisher, well, interest isn't the same as acting is it? I am glad that you seem to be concerned with moral welfare here on your blogg. Highly commendable.

i dont like to judge..but i do believe we are responsible fully for whatever we choose to do..who u mate with is none of my biz really..lol..
