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 well-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 penguin 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...
