Weedy1 Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Did you ever wonder why there are no dead penguins on the ice in Antarctica... This fact piqued the curiosity of a group of behavioral scientists who set up an observation post to study the matter. What is known is the fact that the penguin is a very organized bird who lives an extremely ordered and ritualized life.He mates for life and is extremely devoted to his family, and unlike most species of bird or animal he maintains a form of compassionate contact with his offspring for the duration of his life. If a penguin is found dead on the ice surface, other members of the family and social circle have been known to dig holes in the ice, using their vestigial wings and beaks, until the hole is deep enough for the dead bird to be rolled into and buried. The male penguins then gather in a circle around the fresh grave and sing.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . "Freeze a jolly good fellow..." Quote
