Did you ever wonder why there are no dead penguins
on the ice in Antarctica - where do they go?


Wonder no more ! ! !

It is a known fact that the penguin is a very ritualistic
bird which lives an extremely ordered and complex life.
The penguin is very committed to its family and will
mate for life, as well as maintaining a form of
compassionate contact with its offspring throughout its 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"

"Freeze a jolly good fellow."


Then they kick him in the ice hole.

    You're not on your own, Jilly. I too believed every word of it, even thought to myself "aaah, bless..." when I pictured them singing! :?
    I adore penguins, always have.
    They're my favourite creature and I watch every program or movie, fact or fiction, about penguins ( I love 'Pingu' and 'Mr.Potter's Penguins' with Jim Carey is hilarious and very touching!)
    Anyway, the first part of Rover's post is true- penguins are very committted to their family and mate for life.
    Yep - this post made me smile too. :D
    Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans.
