#11  "Anyone know why there are no NP Penguins?"

Penguins occur throughout the SH, even in warmer locations. There are some on an island off Perth. And there penguins on the Galapagos Islands just north of the equator.

They need predator free islands to breed, and the lack of such islands in the eastern Pacific is/was probably the barrier that kept them from getting any further north.

#10  Note that there are no polar bears down south either.

That might have a relation.

#9  "Anyone know why there are no NP Penguins?"

I assume it is because they developed in the south and its a long way full of sharks and other nasties that would happily done on a flightless bird unable to escape onto an ice flow. I also assume any that made it to the North Pole didn't fair well against the Polar Bears that reside there.

#7  Ah, families playing "the traditional Turkey Bowl game." A nice touch of familiarity, there. Too bad they're not referring to Uncle Jack kicking his college-student-lefty nephew's backside all over the dining room.
