We thought that cats were absolutely shameless creatures but it turns out that penguins are no better either.

Employees of National Aquarium of New Zealand probably got tired of penguins acting out, so they decided to do a public pet shaming of said water birds. The employees have been posting photos once a month for a whole year, announcing the offenses their cute penguins have done and gathered a lot of attention although nobody could stay mad at these adorable zoo animals for long, especially when many of them 'know how to penguin' in the right way.

Scroll down below for hilarious penguin shaming photos and don't forget to upvote cutest animals!

I wonder if the penguin Timmy pushed over was Tux for revenge for pushing him off the pier.

Molting is itchy. Water is soothing. Can't blame Timmy for that!

Aw, why can't poor Timmy swim when moulting? I confess I know nothing about penguins beyond the obvious - they swim, eat fish, are cute. Can also be naughty!

I looked it up. When moulting feathers are not waterproof and slow a penguin down. I can't find anything about it being bad to swim. I think the keepers couldn't find a worse crime and were feeling really lazy so they shamed him to making them skim his feathers out of the pool! I bet the next penguin to swim during moult will be shamed too! The process takes 2-4 weeks and happens once a year. It replaces old feathers with new feathers and doesn't effect the penguin other than it's itchy and affects swimming speed.

Everybody give Pepper a round of applause. Interacting with people is exausting for an introverted penguin!

Good stuff! I thought it said Pepper ate a member of the public. I was wondering how that was a good thing ;P

Wasn't Timmy the one that kept getting knocked off the pier? Maybe that is why he swam during his molt. Poor Timmy was framed.

Timmy just likes the water now. Or, he's playing a reverse psychology game with Tux when he pushes Timmy off the pier. "Haha...I LIKE the water - I WANTED you to do that!"

Egg-hogger! How is that different to being a diligent egg incubator? Poor Mr Mac!
