Published: April 21, 2020, 7:58 p.m.

b'Do penguins have flippers or wings? Why do they waddle? Do they really mate for life? What\\u2019s up with pebble gifts? Are they squishy or dense? And why why why are they so cute? April 25th is World Penguin Day and there\\u2019s never been a better time to sit down with renown Penguinologist Dr. Tom Hart, a research fellow with Oxford University. We chat all about life on Antarctica, how he counts colonies, how you can help him count colonies, what penguins smell like, behaviors he\\u2019s witnessed, and why he does NOT find penguins cute. Rather he sees them as stoic, badass, majestic and worthy of our respect. Also, which penguins are jackasses. Hint: it\\u2019s not jackass penguins. Dr. Hart is your new favorite penguinologist.\\xa0\\n\\nFollow Penguin Watch at Twitter.com/penguin_watch and Instagram.com/penguin_watch\\n\\nHelp count penguins -- for science!
