Funny penguin facts

How many times did you hear the word "penguin" as a child? My guess is it at least three or four at most. But how many kids actually believe that penguins live on land and not in the ocean? Yep, this is why it's funny to be silly enough to ask such questions, because the answers are so much more fascinating than anyone could ever imagine! Here are the best facts about penguins or rather my favorite one, funny penguin facts.

Penguins have been extinct since the time of Pekubahaga who lived between 1 million and 2 million years ago. The real history behind penguins began with penguins first discovered in New Zealand around 1375 when settlers from the European countries came for wintering after ice caps melted. They found a way to survive by being able to reach water up to 10 feet deep without water sickness. In 1703, they were accidentally caught inside a shipwreck and died out of starvation. At some point around 1840, there was another discovery made by an expedition that resulted in the naming of Tasmania's mainland into their own species, penguines. This is where there was a few people catching penguins by feeding them sandwiches on a frozen sea. Then again, later in 1821, penguins were also recorded in parts of Europe after which they became quite uncommon. Now the topic of penguins on land has become much less popular. By the late 1800s, almost everyone knew what penguins went through in the wild. And then in 1835, British explorer Robert Ross finally got an opportunity to see penguins in these remote waters. So he named his ship 'Challenger', it had two wings that provided him with better views and a huge battery pack for photography. He sailed all the way past South Georgia Island. He saw penguins and brought back home pictures of them in hopes of finding new ones. Another year later, Edward Colston gave the world's first photograph of penguins on earth. That is how much you know and you are still willing to take any chance to learn more! That's the reason I love researching the subject so much more than just talking about it. One thing that makes me laugh even harder than most of you is the fact that the last true penguin to go extinct was said to have left Australia for Antarctica in 1938 on Christmas Eve. I'm sure we'll never find them again because no one ever expected them ever to go extinct. Luckily though, we now have lots of evidence of penguins now!

The life cycle of penguins is different in different places. Some penguins have been seen breeding in both the Atlantic and Antarctic oceans. An adult male penguin is responsible for raising a baby penguin that was in the nest with her parents. If she gets lost or is eaten by predators, then they will give birth to another penguin. Most penguins spend all their day away from the surface and only come back at night. When penguins sleep for seven days, they are able to feed while sleeping until the next morning when they leave the water and return to the ice on top of Mount Snowy. There they go to spend the whole day basking in the darkness before going up into the sky. After reaching over 100 miles of ice that takes all day for one penguin, they will return to the water around midnight and start swimming towards the shore to eat seals. Once there, the other penguins can join them for dinner and then head on back out to sea once more for the same experience. Their biggest challenge during nesting season has always been moving the nest around and looking for a fresh place to nest. They will sometimes nest in an abandoned cave on a hilltop in northern Greenland and sometimes nest on rocks too. As far as breeding goes, penguins tend to do very well in the warmer temperatures and will stay in the shallow-water for quite long. It takes a lot of patience and watching the young penguins closely to keep track of them and make sure they don't go beyond a certain age and that they don't try to get close to each other. They usually form pairs in the following months and stay together for life! Penguins only mate with males during breeding season even if two females and two males share it. Males are often territorial but they will cooperate with their partners. Male penguins will often share food with others from their colonies in addition to giving a bit each other. Female penguins have a similar pattern when it comes to mating, they will select a partner that is closest to their nest after making a run for it. Once one bird, they can either stick to them or leave them and seek help from the large group. Both female and male penguins will have only one egg that they will lay around every month, they will sit in a circle with eggs on the ground before laying one egg for incubation.
