from Slate:
The formerly sedentary 46 penguins of the San Francisco Zoo have been swimming in a circle in their pool pretty much non-stop for the last three weeks. In the wild, penguins swim thousands of miles, but these guys only started swimming seriously when the zoo introduced six new penguins who began the swim, inspiring the others to join in. Strangely, the birds are undeterred by lack of water: When the zoo drained the pool to clean it, the penguins continued on, waddling instead of paddling.
