Jaunt of the Penguins


Penguins are known for their tendency to undertake great and perilous journeys, covering vast overland distances in search of breeding grounds, fresh seafood, and, no doubt, adventure. Less well-publicised however are the intervals between these pilgrimages, when penguin life takes on a more low-key, comfortable, pedestrian pace.

But with comfort comes predictability and tedium, and these pastoral penguins may find that the fortitude and grit that serve them so well on the road may be equally called upon amidst this more ordinary existence.
