Mike and Ike are a bonded pair who must go to a home together. These brothers are two years old and enjoy attention. When they arrived at the shelter they were suffering from an allergic reaction to fleas, which caused hair loss – especially for Mike. Once their hair completely grows in again they will be beautiful.
Mike and Ike can be seen at the Colchester SPCA.

And to mark World Penguin Day here are some interesting facts:
The emperor penguin is the largest species of penguin, weighing up to 41 kilograms, and the little penguin is the smallest, weighing about 1 kilogram.
Penguins pant to release heat and stay cool.
They can drink salt water because they have a gland that filters the salt from their bloodstream.
Gentoo penguins are the fastest underwater birds, able to reach speeds up to 36 kilometers per hour.
Of the eighteen penguin species, five are categorized as endangered.
Penguins produce oil from a gland near their tails, which they use to provide a waterproof coat for their feathers.
