Little known facts about death of Penguins
Thanks to Derwyn for this one. I never knew this!
Did you ever wonder why there are no dead penguins seen on the ice in Antarctica - where do they go? Well, wonder no more!
It is a fact that the penguin is a very ritualistic bird, which lives an extremely ordered and complex life. The penguin is 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 will dig holes in the ice, using their feet, 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."
Hey folks sorry if you didn't laugh, but you really didn't believe that I knew anything about penguins, did you?
