Naming a penguin species after your wife

in life •  7 years ago  (edited)

What do you do in order to confess your love to that someone special? Well, I am sure it is impressive but not as impressive as a gentleman known as Jules Dumont d'Urville, whom was an Antarctic explorer in the golden era of exploration. He sailed down to the unknown region now known as Antarctica in 1840 and found these species of penguin. He named them Adelie penguins, which he named after his beloved wife, Adèle Dumont D'Urville. He not only braved the unknown and deadly waters around Antarctica for months upon months at a time but named this adorable penguin species after his wife.

Now that is impressive!!

Those were the days of true romance. The 🐧 penguins look cute but stink real bad. I wonder if he took one home .

back in those days he probably did but not for the romantic aspect but more for scientific reasons.

The penguins are adorable. What a lovely gesture to name the penguin species after his wife

woww .. beautiful animals, can live in cold and hot weather.

Penguins are beautifull creatures but naming them after his wife name that’s nice but i don’ think my wife will find it romantic if i ever did such thing hahaha

Well if the dead can read and be on steemit, i am sure Jules D. will hear you loud and clear.
Nice one though.

Thanks for the transfer of knowledge. Short, interesting and informative. Cheers

no problem! Thanks for taking the time to check out the post

And nevertheless it is charming birdies))). Never I saw them in live))). It is a pity that by the nature they don't fly.

I'd like to sum my response to your post by quote Vincent Van Gogh, Whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is well done. Very well written post. :)

beautiful the demonstration of love and original the idea of placing the name of the beloved woman to the penguins.

I didn't even knew why they were named penguins. The Antartica explorer's wife must be cute so are penguins.
