Interestingly, most folks think penguins are only an arctic bird. There are 4 tropical species. What you saw was likely the Humboldt, or Peruvian Penguin.

Why can't spy photos be this clear?

Which photos are you referring to?

Some of the photos in this thread are wide-area shots, and others are aircraft photos taken from low altitude.

"Which photos are you referring to?"
Post #21.
LOL

My comment was to post #7, which shows a photo that is identified in the article as being "acquired by the Compact High Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (CHRIS) instrument aboard ESA's Proba spacecraft on 26 September 2003."

We saw penguins and flamingos in the same bay.

Do we have any pictures to share? They're natural enemies, you know.

Just what might flamingoes and pinguins fight over??

Why can't spy photos be this clear? As intriquing as the Mars mission is, I can't help but think our money would be better spent improving our spy satellites

Our spy satellites are just fine. We need better spies -- guys who have the gonads to work on the ground and rub elbows with those lethal snakes,

I don't think post #7 is a sattelite photo. The angle to the ground is too great. The shot would have to penetrate way too much atmosphere to have a usable photo.

Now THAT'S funny!!

Do you think the article told the truth about any of the other photos? Or this whole thing just a hoax?
