Posted by Daryl Johnson (Farnham, United Kingdom) on 7 June 2009 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.
Although I'm now in England, this blog will still feature photos from Japan for the foreseeable future.
I apologise in advance if I'm tardy with commenting on your blogs or returning comments during the week... I will get to you though!

I love the idee that pinguins are going in a zoo in order to watch humans ! hilarious !

Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
Love your position, I'm kind of with the penguins on this, they seem to be very interested in observing the humans.

Twelvebit from Victoria, United States
Interesting birds. In Herzog's "Encounters at the End of the World," there is talk of a penguin going insane --though the example discussed may just represent individuality and determination.

@Twelvebit: Haven't seen that film, but is that the scene where a penguin wanders off from the group, to certain death? I heard about that somewhere, can't remember...
Twelvebit from Victoria, United States
That's what they talk about, and the futility of trying to intervene, because as soon as a bird like that is released he turns right around and heads off where he wants to.

@Twelvebit: One more film to add to the list...
Twelvebit from Victoria, United States
Turned out to be a baby....maybe five feet long.

@Twelvebit: Still, what a catch...
