They probably moved after Antarctica became full of scientists. After all, they do nothing but mess with the animals, leave frozen waste, bother everyone with loud machinery, and generally make problems like all humans do, when their curiosity leads to just ignoring well-enough alone.
ReplyDeleteThey'll probably have to move again, but I don't recommend California. There's enough crap on the streets without adding that of over a million penguins. That, and they can't afford the taxes.
