POLLUTION!!!

  • peinguinsandpolecats by peinguinsandpolecats

    I have seen a lot of penguins in one place that I like to call "Gentoo Hill". A few penguins have some sort of white stuff on them! Why is that? My hypothesis is that the white stuff came from that factory over in the distance.

    Hi penguinsandpolecats!

    I like your name for this place 'Gentoo Hill'. We see so many Gentoos here, and some love to stand on the little rock on the top right so we simply call it #The_Rock. I've put #Gentoo_Hill into its comments though - enjoy this place!

    Well there are two sorts of white stuff that you will see on the penguins here.

    1. Snow or frost which you can see in this picture: http://talk.penguinwatch.org/#/subjects/APZ0008oxg

    1. Penguin poop after they have eaten fish: http://talk.penguinwatch.org/#/subjects/APZ0008q4i

    Check the penguin on the right which has four nice poop stripes on it 😃

    The distant land is a very long way away - and that factory is a simple rock cliff where no snow can cling on to it. Some people have seen it as a whale leaping out of the water. This is about the best that I can get as an image:

    Hope this helps explain what is happening here. Enjoy the project!! 😄 😄
