Antarctic scientists have noticed for years that very few bodies of dead penguins are ever seen in the wild, even in areas with very large penguin population. Several scientists have been using the latest in research methods to resolve this question.

They have come to interesting conclusions resulting from their three years of research. It seems penguins exist as a very ritualistic breed. They live in organized colonies and lead an ordered and complex life. Even while living in this cooperative group, individual penguins come together to create families. A penguin couple mates for life and even maintains a compassionate contact with all their offspring for years, even continuing after these offspring reach maturity and begin families of their own. When a member of the colony dies, all the colony surrounds the corpse but stand to the side while the relatives and offspring of the deceased gather close. The deceased "relatives" will work for days using their feet, beaks and vestigial wings to crack the ice and eventually remove enough to provide a hole expansive enough and deep enough to bury the dead bird. The related male members of the family group then gather in a circle around the grave and:











Sing:   Freeze a jolly good fellow, Freeze a jolly good fellow, Freeze a jolly good fellooooow,....Which nobody can 
  deny.

  Then they kick the dead bird in the ice-hole!!!

And y'all thought I didn't know anything about penguins.
