Penguin facts: Emperor penguins live on the floating ice packs and islands of Antarctica. Known as the "giant of the penguins," an adult can grow up to four feet in height and weigh 80 pounds. Flightless and clumsy on land, these birds are most at home underwater, where they feed on a diet of crustaceans, small fish and squid. The emperor penguin is the deepest diving penguin, capable of reaching depths of 1,700 feet. Global warming and habitat loss pose the greatest risks to these remarkable birds.

Great idea for an animal lover. Ok, who isn't? Wouldn't we all love a bucket of frogs as a representation of our adoption of the threatened amphibian? They have been dwindling in numbers - even the ones in our backyard, so they... Great idea for an animal lover. Ok, who isn't? Wouldn't we all love a bucket of frogs as a representation of our adoption of the threatened amphibian? They have been dwindling in numbers - even the ones in our backyard, so they need all the help they can get. Choose from 91 animals (penguins, bats and bonobos, oh my).

Oh, even better than the National Zoo adoption is adopting from WWF (but one can choose based on their own interests - not mine). They are heavily involved with conservation efforts, such as preserving habitats. Habitat loss is one of the main causes for species decline, and think about it...it is mostly human-related. Other factors could be a loss from invasive species...that most likely were introduced from humans. So, either way, we just like screwing it up for creatures other than ourselves. ....and again, what a personal way to teach children about animals and their threats. It must feel good for them to know they are helping the animals they love. There is a more diverse range of animals here, something to suit everyone.
