They sure are! They are teachable and trainable. Penguins can be trained to do Operant Conditioning, which is how dolphins are trained to do. Penguins also respond to their names very well when they are called. Penguins can also learn by observing things pretty quickly on their own. Penguins are one of the few animals that can recognise their selves in the mirror. Scientists have proof too. When a penguin is looking at his self in the mirror he doesn't know if its himself or another penguin he's looking at. But if he has a object in his mouth and waves it around a little, then we know that he sees himself and not another penguin in the mirror. Penguins are more Intelligent then we might know because they tend to hide their intelligence. Penguins behave more like cats than other birds because if they want to do something they will do it. Just like cats, penguins have a mind of their own and they are stubborn. They are also independent and agile! They are also like dogs because they are very loyal and come to you when they are called. Each individual penguin as its own distinct personality and they either love you or hate you, shy or not so shy, grumpy or happy, sweet or nasty, brave or not so brave. Penguins are far more Intelligent than people might realize at first glance and their brains have developed over one hundred years ago. Penguins are as smart as people or if not, more so.
