It's an El Nino year coming up Al. The warm water reaching the Galapagos Islands may push the Galapagos Penguins north to cooler waters, say just west of Pasadena.

The lil' fellas would fit right in on the Channel Islands. A near perfect environmental match to their Galapagos home.

Chilly Willy was seen body surfing the Cortes Bank this afternoon, Al. Only 50 more miles to San Diego.

In an EPA press release today, it was announced that a Sr. Tennessee Tuxedo IV of Chile, has developed a stable, reproducing, puffin - penguin hybrid that the EPA hopes will rid the Great Lakes of the threat posed by Asian Silver Carp.

Phineas J. Whoopee, lead researcher on the Tuxedo team, lauded his team but expressed regret over the loss of his RA, Chumley, who passed away in the final weeks of tests, after choking on a mullet "He couldn't leave sardines alone. When he spotted that mullet he assumed it was a giant sardine. That was the end of our good friend Chumley.", lamented Whoopie.

The Penguin-Puffin Project will begin in late May in the southern Lake Michigan basin.
