This Aug. 7, 2008 photo provided by the Riverbanks Zoo and Gardens in Columbia, S.C. shows Ricky, a 7 year-old Rockhopper penguin make a painting to raise money for the wildlife conservation efforts. Ricky's painting was the first sold in the auction of art by animals nationwide for $ 180 Tuesday, Sept. 16, 2008, in Columbia, S.C.

"I would it would call it a special penguin version of abstract painting." (AP Photo/The Riverbanks Zoo and Garden, Lindsey Burke)
