Did
you ever wonder why you never see dead penguins
on the ice in Antarctica?
Ever
wonder where 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
penguins have a very strong community
bond. They are very committed to their
family and will mate for
life.
They
also maintain a form of compassionate contact
with their 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
freshly dug grave and
sing....
..."freeze
a jolly good
fellow?"
