Welcome!

Hi there. I’m Jakki’s penguin, Oliver.

I live in the Sahara desert after I was ostracized from my penguin tribe in Antarctica for constantly complaining about the sub zero weather 4 years ago.

Luckily, Jakki took me in and cared for me until I could waddle properly in sand, and I now live in a little oasis under palm trees away from everyone within a 50 mile radius.

If I’m lucky, I get fed grapes for hours by the local monitor lizards who sunbake on the granite rocks, though I also like frolicking in the oasis and hunting for gazelles.

I have a pet Deathstalker Scorpion called Furey. He lives under the second rock under the third palm tree.

Sometimes, Jakki and I ride camels to the local bazaar and buy magical Persian carpets and spices. Sleeping in the wispy desert air underneath the shining stars and swaying palms is also quite incredible, and although I do miss the pretty southern lights in Antarctica, I definitely enjoy the sun a lot more in the Sahara (especially since it actually shines 365 days a year)!

I also like to stalk camel tribes, provoke Sand Vipers and frisk around the dunes. I actually found a rusty old lamp in the sand the other day, though now I can’t seem to find it…

When I’m not gorging myself on the neverending fruit platters and waddling around chasing flies, I also oversee all of Jakki’s work as she draws under the leaves in the warm desert sun.

Life could not be better.
