The Penguin ConspiracyPenguins were engineered during the Cold War. The woefully inconsistent fossil record is a testament to this fact, coupled with the untenable body structure that could not possibly be the result of evolution. Designed as a "walking lunchbox" or "Khod'ba Zakuska", these critters were made to consume high protein fish diets and lumber around allowing for a complete lack of need for supply lines to distant conspiracy outposts like the Russian Base in the Antarctic. As the Antarctic circles the earth, and is wildly inhospitable, a solution to this problem had to be made. No wonder some feel that Penguins are so different from all other fowl that they should not even be classified as birds! Their elbows are completely fused?! Why would they need to evolve to survive if they have no land predators in the Antarctic? Why would they not die out with the Dinofauxs? These questions are never suitably answered.
Not only is their fossil record ridiculous and stitched together with what we've been calling Frankenstein Bones, but their history is equally suspect. Supposedly they were first identified in 1490 by Magellan during the wave of exploration in the early 1500s known as the Age of Discovery. However, Africa had been explored in Antiquity by Pharaoh Necho II in 600BC; no such mention of Penguins is present in the accounts of this provided by Herodotus. Herodotus was skeptical of this tale because he could not understand the flat earth physics that allow the sun in the account to appear to the North. In fact, Penguin does not even refer originally to the bird Penguin, but instead is a synonym for the bird the Great Auk. Nobody agrees where the word hails from...
The birds themselves are far too stupid to survive. Often they will even attempt to mate with seals.
"Honestly I did not expect that follow up sightings of a similar nature to that 2006 one would ever be made again, and certainly not on multiple occasions," Nico de Bruyn, of the Mammal Research Institute at the University of Pretoria
Additionally they often choose to live in areas with climates not suited to their bodies, causing great distress.
Could it be that Penguins were Auk crossed by Seals? I'm not ruling it out at this point.
Their behavior is equally nonsensical, often going against what instinct should tell them to do and being a myriad of different behaviors - such as living underground, swimming, migrating, child theft, homosexuality and more.
