There are between 17 and 20 species of penguins recognized (depending on who you ask, ahhhh yes the controversy that is taxonomy). Some of the characteristics of penguins include their lack flight, their wings that have been modified to act as flippers, countershaded coloration, a thick layer of insulating feathers, and of course a ridiculously adorable waddle on land! In fact, this adorable waddle raises the penguins center of mass as the walk, making it easier for them to walk despite their short legs and large feet.

So there is a band called Q the Clique that is made up of people who graduated from my school this year, and they managed to get a record deal and now have shows and a really amazing single with a really great music video (if you want to see that, it is called Out There). But on the flipside, the Minnesota Zoo also hired these guys to make a song advertising their new penguin exhibit. I'm friends with the guitarist, and he told me about this shining jem of cinematography. Behold, the powers of green screen and flying text.

That awkward moment when your backpack is too heavy for you and you end up waddling like a penguin from class to class.
