Do penguins even hibernate?

Sounds like taking a vacation to some futuristic virtual world where you can do just about anything and be just about anything…

Orders placed on December 18 will be shipped before 2025?

As long as it wasn’t some sort of custom work (such as a conversion), it would have shipped.

Not only do emperor penguins not hibernate, they don’t really even sleep. Throughout the day and the night, they take tiny naps of only a few minutes to rest while standing up.

Over the course of a single day, they fall asleep thousands of times, each bout a few seconds long

On average the microsleeps last a mere 4 seconds, but they add up to more than 11 hours total per day.

How does something like that not come up when you look up penguin fun facts?

In case you haven’t already googled it

The term “penguin” comes from the great auk, a flightless, black and white bird that lived in the North Atlantic. European explorers named the penguins they discovered in the Southern Hemisphere after the great auk because of their similar appearance. The last pair of great auks were killed by fishermen in Iceland in 1844

The Great Auk was not closely related to penguins, which were discovered later by Europeans and so named by sailors because of their physical resemblance to the great auk.

You’re welcome

Anybody else wondering why Amal isnt working over Christmas?

Most people would assume he deserves a break and time off to spend with his family.

I THINK That :point_up: is a cover, and he actually has a side gig, where he only works a couple of days a year
