: Diet Molt
Feb 16, 2006 —
Penguins use oil from their preen gland to coat their feathers and make them more waterproof and insulated in the icy waters. While molting, the old feathers are all tuft up and falling out, and they are not able to preen the new feathers underneath. So they do not go in the water during this time, which can last up to three weeks. Between chick rearing and molting, penguins get lots of fasting in.
Poor Osbourne, he’s just having a tough week. Let’s sing…
Ooh-ooh Osbourne, things are gonna get easier
Ooh-ooh Osbourne, things’ll get brighter
More Polar Bear Videoage
Here’s another polar bear video, not a home movie though, this ones from National Geographic. See a mother polar bear start to teach her cubs about life.

oh poor Osbourne.. this time I hate you Wally ! grrr
Oh where oh where have the wallpapers gone oh where oh where could they be?
right down there under “downloads”
Poor Osbourne!! He doesnt get to eat Fishes until he is done molting
Starvation comes up a lot in this comic.
poor Osbourne, lol. Wally juss dont understand…
He tried though, even to the point of sacrificing his rescued fishies, there was just an error in communication.
Sev, maybe I’m just really hungry. A starving artist. Maybe people should send me some food.
Yosis, yesterday’s comic was big enough to be a wallpaper. 😉
I’m going to mail you some fish. If I wrap it in plastic it should keep, right?
Just stuff some ice cubes down their mouths and we’ll hope the postman doesn’t treat the package like my Netflix DVD’s.
Starving artist who has Netflix. That is like a college student with a big stereo!
Some things are more important than food, man.
awww, that is too bad. it would have been so cute to see Wally feed Osbourne those fishies with his little shovel!!
Hey, I really think that Osbourne is going to make it, through this… ….although he may have to look into wearing a smaller tuxedo, don’t ya think?
Hey tyler, what software/hardware do you use to make on the rocks?
This is a sad one… I really wish Tyler wouldn’t use Wally to treat Osbourne so… badly. Even though he doesn’t mean it, Wally really makes life horrible for Osbourne sometimes.
*sigh* wally needs improving up in his brain 😀
Shennko yea I’ve seen that before.
