    'The Truth About Penguins'

    by Peter Kemp

    I wanted to study the nature of penguins

    The Canadian definition of penguins is that they are

    flightless
    they can swim
    largest species up to 1.2m tall
    they eat mostly fish
    they lay 1 or 2 eggs
    they generally live in colonies


    the 'CDC' definition of these birds is that they are

    flightless
    they sometimes eat fish
    they lay eggs
    they can swim

    the 'Oxford' definition is that these birds are

    flightless
    they lay eggs

    The 'Oxford' definition was chosen for the research as the others were too difficult to apply. 100 subjects who met the research criteria were studies in Sub-Saharan Africa.

    The research found that penguins

    live in deserts
    cannot swim
    are up to 2.4m tall
    weigh 200 pounds
    capable of speeds up to 40mph on land
    are mostly vegetarian

    Conclusion

    The research has discovered the truth about penguins. Those funny black and white birds waddling about the ice and swimming in the sea are making fools of everyone. They are not real penguins and should be excluded from further research into penguins.
