Smologies #34: PENGUINS with Tom Hart

Do penguins have flippers or wings? What’s up with pebble gifts? Are they squishy or dense? And why why why are they so cute?  We sit down with renown Penguinologist Dr. Tom Hart, a research fellow with Oxford University, to chat all about life on Antarctica, penguin cities, icy cuddle parties, ocean camoflauge and how to become a flightless bird. Dr. Hart is your new favorite penguinologist.
