Because I don't expect to see penguins in grass, those pics seem a bit odd. Nothing wrong with them, they are just unexpected and therefore a bit strange. The ones in snow are what I expect to see and therefore "better"......does this make sense?

Any way, whatever, I like these. Penguins are seriously cute!

Thanks for the comments.

Depending which type of penguins they are they will spend 4-6 months out of the cold in warm climates to breed. (some types don't leave the snow and ice) So they are at home in the sand and grass or in the snow.
