Dead Penguins - I Never Knew This!

[Musky]

VERY INTERESTING FACTS ! !

Dead Penguins - I never knew this!

 

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 maintain 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."
