This week on the Naturalist Bernie sits down with frequent guest host Carol Butler to discuss...penguins! These adorable, dedicated, chubby birds are a fascinating group of creatures. They're not afraid of humans, they'll go to amazing lengths to hatch their young, and you can actually get oil from them (though you shouldn't).
