And what a happy day it is, indeed.
Zing here, your head counselor, and today we are celebrating my all-time favorite animal, found on land, sea, and air.
Oh, wait, scratch the air part.
Even though they're technically a bird, they can't actually fly.
But that doesn't get in its way.
-[ Chattering ] -In fact, they make up for being grounded in more adorable ways than one.
Waddle, slide, and glide.
These masterful jumpers -- Whoops!
Mostly -- are always black-tie-ready and their coloring provides more than just good looks.
Their black and white feathers act as a form of camouflage, disguising them from potential predators.
From above, the black on their back helps them blend in with the darkness of the ocean and from below, the white on their belly helps them blend in to the bright surface of the water.
They're fast swimmers, too, able to reach speeds of up to 22 miles per hour.
-[ Squawking ] -I mean, what's not to love?
A beauty like this emperor penguin.
A wacky wonder like this macaroni penguin.
These guys are bound to put a smile on your face.
So, ready to dive in?
Excellent!
Because today is Penguin Day on "Camp TV."
No time to chill right now, though.
Your first activity awaits.
