Macaroni Penguin day

Most people who meet Ivor think that he's a black German Shepherd who works as a guide dog. Little do they know, however, that each day, Ivor actually becomes a new and different species. While he continues to act as a guide animal, and still looks like a black German Shepherd, his inner essence changes day to day.

For example, this Monday, Ivor was a fairy shrimp. He lived in shallow pools and had eleven sets of legs. The next day, however, he had transformed into a vampire squid from hell living in the deep sea. By Wednesday, he was an eohippus, the dog-sized, five-toed ancestor of the modern horse and the last living specimen of his kind. Yesterday, he was a Morocco orange tip butterfly.

Today, it was so hot that Ivor had to become a macaroni penguin to stay cool. He lives on a subantarctic island near South Africa and mostly eats krill and squid. He has therefore moved up in the food chain a bit since Tuesday (luckily, since macaroni penguins can't dive deep enough, the vampire squid friends that Ivor made on Tuesday are safe from him today).

Many people who learn about Ivor are curious about what species he is each day, so his friends decided to set up this blog so that we can keep people updated. We hope that it will become a way for people around the world to follow the extraordinary metamorphoses of this very talented animal.
