Magellanic Penguins
Dr. Mike Bingham runs a great program that lets anyone "adopt" a penguin in the Falkland Islands. While you don't actually own the penguin, your money helps run a valuable conservation effort that helps preserve and protect these wonderful animals.
You can adopt your own penguin here.
During the year, Dr. Mike sends email updates about your penguin and occasional photos. Below is a set of emails we've receieved about our penguin.
