    A bit of an oops on their names, but we still love these penguins! Would you rename king penguins knowing their common name history?

      If it were up to me, I would label them as prince penguins and the others as king penguins!

    All these years I just assumed that the king penguin was just a secondary name for the emperor penguin my mind is blown finding out their 2 separate species
