No Mutants Allowed

As a kid, I got a World Wildlife Fund-series plush king penguin, and I took it with me everywhere. Ever since, I've been on the king penguin's side. The black, gray and white coloration is more exotic than the white-black of the emperor -

and where the emperor penguins yellow cheek-color kind of fades down into the black, the king penguin has a sharp contrasted, upwards turning, drop faced, deep orange mark, that I find a lot more interesting

They are the second largest of all penguins, and closely related to the emperor, but - alas - almost always ignored in favor of the emperor, when it comes to docus and movies and other shows

I love penguins so damn much. Here in the US at the Ripley's Aquarium you can go in a penguin enclosure and paint with them. 10/10 totally worth it.

we got this fella https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nils_Olav colonel of the king's guard :D
