International African Penguin Awareness Day – October Tapestry

International African Penguin Awareness Day is observed every second Saturday of October and on October 14 this year, you are going to come down with the worst case of cuteness overload you have ever had in your life. The first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word ‘penguin’ is ice-cold weather, but that’s not the case for the African Penguin. In fact, there are certain species of penguins that live in warm climates. The Galapagos penguin, the northernmost of these species, lives right on the equator. International African Penguin Awareness Day is our chance to help these majestic birds once again become a thriving part of the ecosystem, so they continue to preserve the special place they have in our hearts for many years to come.
