The part of the Biodome after the coastline was full of Antarctic and Arctic scenes. Puffins were in the Antarctic and penguins were in the Arctic regions (I think) and we stuck around for quite awhile watching the penguins interact and even play around. Martin was of course transfixed but I was also highly entertained by them. The way they walked with their flippers almost behind them was quite cute and they were obviously having fun sliding down the snow into the water and swimming like pros. They were obviously paired and when the two penguins in a pair happened to look at each other, they would bow to each other nearly crossing beaks. It actually looked like they had a sense of mutual respect. I can see why Martin likes them.
