Penguins are one of the most popular, lovable birds on Earth. A penguin is a flightless bird that has flippers instead of wings. They spend much of their life at sea, searching for prey, but return to land to raise their chicks and molt. Penguins only live in the Southern Hemisphere. So no, they do not have to worry about being a polar bear's lunch! However, they do suffer greatly from human pollution and other misdeeds.
When you think of a penguin, you probably picture them in an icy Antarctic environment, but not all penguins live in the cold. Some live in Africa and even as far north as the Galapagos Islands. These penguins enjoy the hot, even tropical weather.
Our goal is to create awareness about these precious animals. By bringing penguins closer to everyone who loves them, we hope to illustrate the penguins beauty, grace and the differences that exist between the seventeen species. We hope to increase everyone's knowledge about the dangers and hardships they are facing and how we can help to save them. We would also like to help you to surround yourself with penguin merchandise at home.

We Care for Your Security
We understand that you're concerned about the security and privacy of your online transactions. This is why we use Comodo to ensure that your valuable data, such as credit card details, are encrypted when you interact with our site.
"How do you secure my payment information?"
We employ state-of-the-art data encryption to ensure safe and secure transactions to our site.
Your computer and ours agree to transpose whatever we are sending into an unintelligible "hash" of characters, using a technology called SSL. For example:
3048 0241 00C9 18FA CF8D EB2D EFD5 FD37 89B9 E069 EA97 FC20 5E35 F577 EE31 C4FB C6E4 4811 7D86 BC8F BAFA 362F 922B F01B 2F40 C744 2654 C0DD 2881 D673 CA2B 4003 C266 E2CD CB02 0301 0001ithout the information on your computer or ours, no one can understand our encrypted communication.
For your safety, please expect anyone who communicates confidential information with you on the Internet to use encryption, the way we do.
What is SSL?
Secure Sockets Layer, SSL, is the security technology for encrypting a link between a web server and a browser. All data passed between our web server and your browser remains private and secure. Whenever you communicate with us on our payment pages, a small yellow padlock appears in the bottom right-hand corner of your browser as a sign that we are now engaging SSL. (Another sign on some browsers is that when you enter the secure area of the site, the background of the address bar turns dark yellow or bright green. You'll also notice that http:// is replaced by https:// (The 's' stands for 'Secure'). "How do I know you are a real organization?" To generate an encrypted SSL transmission, a web server requires an SSL Certificate. Checking a website's certificate is good practice that helps you avoid spoof websites, sometimes called "phishing" sites. To check the certificate, click on the padlock. Your browser will show you the name of the owner of the certificate. This name should match the name of the website operator. Our SSL certificates are issued by a leading certificate authority, Comodo CA. Comodo is Web Trust-compliant, meaning that their business practices and processes have been rigorously audited according to AICPA (American Institute of Certified Public Accountants) guidelines by an independent approved auditor (Ernst & Young). Comodo High Assurance certificates enable a high level of encryption. They also confirm that a company is a legally accountable organization. To receive a High Assurance SSL Certificate from Comodo, we had to demonstrate to them that we are an existing business, along with our control over the domain you are visiting. When you shop online, you deserve to be know who you are interacting with. Seeing a site with a High Assurance SSL Certificate, confirms two essential factors: ?That you have a secure SSL (encrypted) link with this website ?That this website represents a real organization To find out more about SSL or Comodo, please visit Instant SSL.
