DYK there used to be an arctic penguin

Then when they got to the antarctic, they said hey they’re here too! That’s how the penguin got its name. But they weren’t related.
The 0.6% being born in Africa:
how many decimal places are needed to include penguins in zoos?
Serious question: what sort of crimes do I have to commit to be reincarnated as a penguin in Australia but not Antarctica?
How about the Falklands?
Ok, but what’s the chance of being hatched on each continent? I believe that it’s a statistical insignificant amount penguins being born anyway
I have never even had a chance to win the birth lottery :(
“I’d rather be happy than right any day”
I like these odds. Being a penguin sounds like generalized anxiety with an extra layer of flubber.
Surely this isn’t taking into consideration insect populations, right? I’m pretty damn sure I’ll be reincarnated as an ant.
Edit: ah, I see I misinterpreted the graph. Never mind and carry on.
i asked the internet and antarctica doesn’t have ants, it has midges. i’m not sure whether that’s better or worse. right now… better.
