Small But Perfectly Formed. It’s Cookie The Penguin.
Hey,
.
Cincinnati Zoo has a tiny, but very popular resident.
.
He is Cookie the penguin,the mascot of the zoo.
He is friendly, sociable, and he loves to be tickled….and when he is he giggles!
.
He is the new UTube sensation.
Already he has gathered almost 850,000 viewers.
.
Here, for your delectation, is lovely the little fellow himself.
.
.
And while we are in the mood.
.
Here is the very cool Frostie, dancing to ‘Shake A Tail Feather’.
.
.
My goodness, I have friends who cannot dance as good as him!
No wonder he has over 4,500,000 views….he is the King.
LOL,

Regarding your title, “Small but Perfectly Formed…” Cookie is a Little Penguin from Australia and New Zealand. He is a normally sized Little Penguin. They are all that size. I got the impression you thought he was an undersized penguin. And he’s not. He’s pretty average! : )
If you have a moment, please look at this video I shot at the Cincinnati Zoo of their Little Penguins.

According to Wikipedia,” Little Penguins (Eudyptula minor) is the smallest species of penguin. The penguin, which usually grows to between 30 and 33 cm tall (12 to 13 inches), is found on the coastlines of southern Australia and New Zealand, with possible records from Chile.”
So he is a completely normal sized penguin.
