Sometimes Civil Society Media gets a bit serious. But the thing is, we love penguins. And today is World Penguin Day.
It's actually a great example of how charities can use social media to campaign. If your social media feeds are not full of cute pictures of penguins on this World Penguin Day, then you are most definitely following the wrong people.
Here’s how some charities are marking World Penguin Day.
RSPB
We count 221. Do you agree?
Happy #WorldPenguinDay everyone! How many king penguins can you count in this photo? #WildlifeWednesday pic.twitter.com/V4SCAIs9st

Colchester Zoo
Colchester Zoo showed that some things which can be counted count.
WWF
Some good pub quiz knowledge about penguins here from the WWF. We can't help noticing that these penguins have black heads, though.
Sailors' Society
The Sailors' Society dug out this blast from the past.
