Tickled penguin becomes internet sensation
If there is one thing cuter than a baby being tickled, that thing is a penguin being ticked.
Cookie, the “mascot” of the Cincinnati Zoo’s Bird House, has become an Internet sensation.
There have been nearly 2 million views of a video showing the Little Penguin truly enjoying a good tickle from a guest keeper.
The video of Cookie getting a little love has even appeared on CNN. What do you think?

TickleMe Plant Now they are showing a real house plant that MOVES when Tickled! The fan-like leaves suddenly fold up and even the branches droop when you Tickle It! Just search TickleMe Plant I am sure they will grow this in all the schools ,,,sure beats growing a lima bean. I just ordered the TickleMe Plant Party Favors - the song is cute too,
