GIVING HIM A PAT ON THE BACK
The little girl in our picture apparently thinks Mr. Penguin is a very clever fellow, and she is giving him a pat on the back. Perhaps he’s just been doing some of those tricks he does in the cartoons you sometimes see at the pictures. Penguins live mainly in the far south, but they are found in islands in the Pacific Ocean also. The sailors call-them " Johnnies," and many a weary mariner has made a meal of penguin meat. Penguins are a very old race of birds, for there is still one kind existing which lived in New Zealand thousands and thousands of years ago. | There are several different kinds-Emperor, King, Jackasspenguins, and Rock-hoppers. The one above lives in the Zoological Gardens in Regent's Park, London, and this picture of him was snapped at the opening of the Children’s Zoo there.
