Penguin, (order Sphenisciformes), any of 18 species of flightless marine birds that live only in the Southern Hemisphere. The majority of the 18 species live not in Antarctica but rather between latitudes 45° and 60° S, where they breed on islands. A few penguins inhabit temperate regions, and one, the Galapagos penguin (Spheniscus mendiculus), lives at the Equator.

General features
The stocky, short-legged appearance of penguins has endeared them to people worldwide. They range from about 35 cm (14 inches) in height and approximately 1 kg (about 2 pounds) in weight in the blue, or fairy, penguin (Eudyptula minor) to 115 cm (45 inches) and 25 to 40 kg (55 to 90 pounds) in the emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri). Most are black on the back and white below, often with lines of black across the upper breast or spots of white on the head. Colour is rare, being limited to red or yellow irises of the eye in some species; red beaks or feet in a few; yellow brow tufts in the three species of Eudyptes; and orange and yellow on the head, neck, and breast in the emperor and king (A. patagonica) penguins.
The total populations of some species, such as the emperor, are estimated in the hundreds of thousands, but most species of smaller penguins certainly run into the millions. Immense island breeding colonies, some teeming with hundreds of thousands of nesting pairs, represent a large potential food resource, but the economic importance of penguins is negligible. Nineteenth-century whalers and seal hunters visited some colonies for meat and eggs, and a penguin oil industry once took large numbers of the birds. By the early 20th century, however, this exploitation was no longer profitable, and most colonies were left alone or actively protected. Some species are now increasing in numbers, apparently as a result of the mid-20th century’s decimation of Antarctic whales, which compete with penguins for the krill (minute crustaceans) on which both feed. Penguin populations, however, are highly vulnerable to changes in climate and ocean temperature, including recent global warming. Penguins also are very sensitive to depletion of local fish populations by humans.

[Tux] '.looks too much like Homer Simpson' -- Albert Cahalan.
.Just when you thought that Tux was about as cute as he could possibly be. Thanks to Paul and Eleya Frields for these photos of Evelyn-the-Penguin.
So cute!
And now the world has gone nuts for Tux - his image is used in dozens of magazines, adverts, Tee-shirts - you can get cuddly-Tux plush toys in a range of sizes.
At one time you could buy a six and a half foot tall, wearable Tux costume for $999 - but that advert seems to have disappeared.
Molecular Expressions: This Tux probably gets the record for the smallest Tux image anywhere. It's just 130 microns across and was found by on the corner of a silicon chip 'of unknown type and function'. If anyone can tell me the facts about this, I'd love to hear about it.
Eric Harshbarger built this 25 inch tall Tux from Lego bricks. Visit Eric's site for lots of other pictures of this magnificent edifice - and for Eric's other Lego projects - which includes a BSD 'Beasty' in Lego.

Shaun Kruger sent me this picture of his ceramic Tux that he made in his high school pottery class the fall of 1999. It stands about a foot tall.
Now, what kind of nut would build a TEMPLE dedicated to Tux in his backyard?
Oh - wait - that's mine!
My wife calls this 'The Geek Temple' and now that it's finished, it has our HotTub in it.
Tux made it into Time Magazine in August 2002 in an article by Chris Taylor entitled 'The Little Penguin That Could'. The article talked about the promise of Lindows and Lycoris (which both try to make Linux into a Windoze look-alike).
IBM spray-painted these 'Peace, Love, Linux' adverts over sidewalks in New York and San Francisco - and ended up paying fines and having their advertising executives doing community service to remove them under the graffiti laws.
.although it's hard to beat this for Tux enthusiasm: From: Jim Duchek <[email protected]>.in January 1999 I decided (entirely sober even!) to get Larry Ewing's beautiful image tattooed on my upper left arm.
Looks like Tux has been out in the snow too long!
Download this paper cutout Tux from PremiumInk.
(Thanks to Anton Johansson <[email protected]> for creating this masterpiece.).presumably because of the earlier comment from Albert Cahalan that Tux looks like Homer (from 'The Simpsons').which he does.sortof.
This was an advert Microsoft ran in magazines in Germany - I think it's trying to say that you should use Linux because it's easy to customise and it's all a lot of fun. :-) (Click on the image to see the full picture, the English translation of the original advert is courtesy of Babelfish.)

Beginnings
In the beginning, sometime in early 1996, several people were talking on the linux-kernel mailing list about a suitable logo/mascot for Linux. Of the many, many suggestions, many involved parodies of other operating system logo's - or were strong, noble beasts such as Sharks or Eagles. At some point (I'm not sure when), Linus Torvalds (the father of Linux) casually mentioned that he was rather fond of Penguins - which rather stopped the debate in its tracks.
After several attempts to draw Penguins in various poses, someone suggested a Penguin holding up the world. Here is the famous email from Linus - in response to Dale Scheetz' efforts to produce a such an image:
Why Penguins?
This email from Linus in response to this very question seems to explain the significance of the Penguin: Icloud calendar app for mac.
Well, thanks Linus - without your help, I'd be writing a video game about a triangle with 'Linux 2.0' written inside it! Attack on titan tribute game no unity web player.
Which Penguin?
A contest was proposed to pick a suitable Penguin logo - but from what I can see of the email at the time, Larry Ewing's famous Penguin painting won more or less by popular acclaim. Larry is on record as having first painted Tux using GIMP (The GNU Image Manipulation Program). You can find the original image and an explanation of how Larry painted him here: [1].
Larry grants permission to use and/or modify the Tux image - but he requires you acknowledge him <[email protected]> and The GIMP 'if someone asks'.

Tux in 3D.
In July 1998, I started writing a 3D game for Linux - and since I needed a cute main character, Tux naturally leapt to mind. The title of the game is 'A Quest for Herring.'. This 3D Tux was generated by digitizing Tux's profile from Larry Ewing's painting, that was then rotated through 360 degrees to generate avolume of revolution.
The flippers and feet were hand-built and the beak is a cone which has been squashed from end-to-end and from top to bottom. The texture map also derives from Larry's original painting, but I had to fill in the background with solid black, remove the feet and turn the beak into separate texture map. Since I needed to use Tux in my 3D game, it was necessary to reduce the resolution of the image so that it would not consume too much texture memory.
The version in the game has better feet, a head that turns, and a beak that opens and shuts. It also sits in the same pose as in Larry's painting.
Why is He Called 'Tux'?
Like pretty much everyone else, I had always assumed that 'Tux' is short for 'Tuxedo' - Penguins look like they are wearing tuxedo's and that seems like the most reasonable explanation. However, Jacob Poon <[email protected]> researched this and found the first known attempt at naming 'The Penguin' was found on this message:
Best Tuxedo On Roblox
The next reply seems to be the first use of the name 'Tux':
.well, that kindof provides an explanation for the name - although the tuxedo connection has to be the reason behind such a tortured (and technically incorrect) acronym. There were a few other 'in-joke' names, then the thread fizzled out and the name 'Tux' has stuck.
Why Are There Free Penguin Tuxes Roblox Id
Linnie?
A very few Linux people call the penguin 'Linnie' - but they are a dying breed. He's obviously called Tux and that's that.
The REAL Tux?
Yes, there is a real, live, physical Penguin.
A number of UK Linux fans - lead by Alan Cox - and the Linux World magazine decided to sponsora live Penguin at Bristol Zoo as a birthday present for Linus. The following individuals contributed:
You can see the letters from Bristol Zoo (in South-West England) - and some photo's of the Penguins at the Zoo.
According to the Zoo, Tux is a Black-Footed (Jackass) Penguin - but the pictures of the Penguins at Bristol don't have the same markings as the 'classic' Tux images.
Tux Makes a Difference (it's Official).
If you are still in doubt about how 'real' Tux is, he actually won an award from 'Internet World' where he was nominated as one of the twelve people 'Who Made a Difference During the Year'(check out the 'Internet Scrapbook' for December 14th 1998).
Why Penguins?
Just in case you haven't already heard enough, here is Linus' explanation for why he's fond of Penguins:
Controversy and Anti-Penguin Sentiment.
When Democracy Fails.
Reportedly there were at least three votes held on the choice of a Linux Logo. Suprisingly (in the light of subsequent events), Tux didn't win! In the largest and most final contest he polled only 541 votes compared to 785 for the winning design:

(Painted by Matt Ericson)
However, Linus seems to have asserted his desires and today, there is no doubt that Tux is by far better known and more widely used than others that figured highly in the competition. To be fair (and with a nod to democracy), we should perhaps call Tux the 'Linux Mascot' - and leave the term 'Linux Logo' for Matt Ericsons' image.
I agree with Linus' argument:
It would be hard to do stuff like this with the words 'Linux 2. Download firefox for mac. 0 Powered' in a white box: Mac cleaner 10.6.8.
Although, to be fair, it's hard to do stuff like this with a cute penguin:
.which was devised by David Navarro.
.which nobody seems to claim ownership of.
.which I saw on Paul Gray's .sig.
There are a lot more ASCII Penguins here.
But aren't Penguins a bit - well - feeble?
There are certain Linux supporters who don't like the penguin. Yes, I know that's hard to believe. For example, Alan Mackey promoted a Fox as an alternative mascot - there were quite a few supporters of that idea - but Tux is now pretty much universally accepted and the unnamed fox is no longer a contender.
Once again, Linus has words for these people:

Feathers McGraw?
Several people posting to linux-kernel suggested that the Linux Penguin is rather too similar to the 'Feathers McGraw' Penguin in Nick Park's Wallace and Gromit video 'The Wrong Trousers' - or to the Penguin in his earlier work 'Creature Comforts'. Look for yourself - but I don't seemuch similarity.
