Penguins

I didn’t know that … Penguins

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.”

Welcome

It only seems like a few months ago that we switched to a new website design, but now we are doing it again!

While the old site was easy enough for us to use and post our pictures we wanted to try something new that would allow us to write stories easier, offer more ways for everyone to connect and interact with us and we also wanted something with nice site “themes”.

Anyway, please bear with us during this transition.  New user registration will be enabled soon, so please check back.

Under the “Pages” section in the sidebar you can view all of our pictures.

It’s a decent start!

You can still visit our old site here.

Thank you!
