I guess they don't realize that penguins live at the south pole.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

If only they had access to some type of search system.

Some penguins live in Australia and New Zealand, too.

What tipped you off that these penguins AREN'T at the South Pole? Don't they have hats, scarves, candles or telephones there?

It's summer there and there are no penguins at the South Pole; it's too far from the water.
