Movie/Appearence

In the movie Madagascar, Skipper and his fellow comrads try to escape captivity in the zoo and dig effortlessly untill they come upon Marty the Zebra, who tells them they are still in New York. When the penguins are discovered they were tranquilized and put in a crate headed for Africa (which is ironic since penguins don't belong in Africa). Skipper orders Rico another Penguin to pick the lock. After getting out the crate they knock out the captin and turn the ship around. They go to Antartica but arent amussed due to its boredom. Later on they find out Alex the lion has gone carnivore and they go to save Marty from being eaten by Alex and defeat the fossa. They succeed and get Alex to sooth his meat craving with fish instead of steak. The penguins then relax in Madagascar where upon Private asks if they should tell Alex, Marty, Melmin and Gloria that the boat's out of gas and Skipper says Nah, Just smile and wave boys. Smile and wave.

In the sequel Madagascar escape to Africa Skipper and the others takr Alex and his friends back to the zoo. Unfortunatley they end up in Africa (which is actually Alex's hometown). They then hijack a van and get some extra help from Phil and Mason and some other monkeys. They help Alex from being killed by Nana the old lady. Near the end, Skippers marries a bobbyhead doll. However, it doesn't appear in the series.

Skipper is black and white with blue eyes. He is the second shortest penguin with Private being the first.
