Penguin

For the pet counterpart, see Pet Penguin 

The Penguin is a non-member land and ocean animal that was released on February 17, 2012. They were formerly members-only until they became available for all Jammers on June 21, 2012.

Default Appearance
Penguins are in default light navy-blue, with a white underbelly and emerald green eyes in official Animal Jam art work, and are depicted similarly, except possessing charcoal-gray eyes.

Land

 * Sit: Sits with their hands behind them, with flippers resting on ground with feet directly in front of it.
 * Dance: Stands on one foot, wobbles, then switches to the other and spins.
 * Sleep: Lays on back, breathing quickly.
 * Play: Flips forward, wheels to the side, flips backwards, and bows left-right.
 * Hop: Hops quickly, appearing to fatten as touching ground

Ocean

 * Pose: Swims in an Egg Beater Paddle
 * Dance: Reeling fins, places a fin on beak and sinks downward
 * Dive: Swims downward and up
 * Swirl: Swims in circles
 * Play: Inflates, and exhales bubbles; spinning in a circle

Trivia

 * Marco, who is believed to be the Penguin Alpha, would be smaller than the average Animal Jam Penguin due to his species being different, and compared to a normal penguin might be very small. Based on his appearance, Marco could possibly be a Rockhopper Penguin.
 * The Penguin's belly color is a secret white that the player cannot obtain. Once they change its color, they won't be able to get it back unless a new penguin is purchased.
 * If a penguin is wearing a slingshot while sleeping, a strange glitch causes the slingshot to move up and down, get bigger, shrink, and grow bigger again. This pattern repeats.
 * Penguins were the second non-member underwater animal available.
 * When the player goes to the Pet Stop with a Polar Bear (Pet) they can buy a mini penguin.
 * On December 18th, 2015, Pet Penguins were added to the Diamond Shop.
