The Penguin’s Maserati Is the Best Car on TV

Every great television character needs a badass ride. For automobile newbies, that’s what the cool kids call a car. James Bond has the Aston Martin, Batman has the Batmobile, and now the Penguin has the purple Maserati. But if you ask the comic-book villain: “Technically, it’s plum.”

The luxury sports vehicle is featured throughout much of The Penguin, a new HBO series focusing on the classic Batman villain (and, apparently, his car). The color harks back to his comic-book origins, where he rocked purple pinstripe pants. But as Batman fans are already aware, the purple Maserati isn’t the Penguin’s first go at a signature car. In Batman Returns (1992), Danny DeVito’s Penguin rides around Gotham in a giant rubber-duck bath toy ... with wheels. Campy, but insane!

“Ayy kid, check out my ride!”

Fast-forward a few decades and Colin Farrell’s Sopranos-inspired performance in The Penguin is a truly never-before-seen take on the Batman villain. Naturally, you can say the same thing about his ride.

Galapagos Penguin

“The Galapagos penguin is located farther north than any other penguin species in the world.“

It is a very rare and unusual sight indeed: a penguin living in warm climates. Charles Darwin never saw these creatures on his trip to the Galapagos, but today they are a fascinating spectacle for visiting tourists and nature lovers coming to the island chain from around the world. However, population numbers are currently in sharp decline due to dropping food supplies and changes in the natural climate cycle. If something isn’t done to reverse their decline, then they may be vulnerable to complete extinction.

3 Galapagos Penguin Facts

• The Galapagos penguin species have adapted closely to the annual environmental cycles of the Galapagos Islands. The timing of its breeding, molting and feeding is all based on changes in this cycle.
• The Galapagos penguin molts twice per year. Each molt takes approximately two weeks to complete.
• Penguins likely evolved around the Antarctic-New Zealand region some 30 to 40 million years ago, when both landmasses were practically connected with each other. One group of penguins later split off from the others and traveled north, giving rise to the so-called banded penguins.
