It ain’t easy being a penguin!
We all love penguins. They have that silly little waddle, they huddle together and it’s adorable. But the grass isn’t always greener, my friends. Penguins have it rough, too. I mean, it is FREEZING down there. They’re constantly being hunted. Plus, can you imagine trying to find your mom in a big ol’ crowd of identical penguins? No, thank you.
