Daniel, I never said they had to be FEMALE penguins. I know penguins are an enlightened species. I just forgot that they use their feet rather than their rears. <g>

<<Methinks you're confused, Joan. Penguins don't sit on their eggs, at least in Antarctica. It's a guy thing.>>

Are all penguins female? Since it's a guy thing I mean.

The male penguins hold the egg on their feet and squat on it, wrapping it in down through the winter. Since there is no vegetation their feet make the nest. All winter with no food or water.
