There are no penguins in the “Arctic.”
By golly, they did have that photo with the article.
Maybe these penguins were on vacation.
Arctic, as in North Pole.
However...
“Penguins (order Sphenisciformes, family Spheniscidae) are a group of aquatic, flightless birds living almost exclusively in the Southern Hemisphere, especially in Antarctica. Highly adapted for life in the water, penguins have countershaded dark and white plumage, and their wings have evolved into flippers. Most penguins feed on krill, fish, squid and other forms of sealife caught while swimming underwater. They spend about half of their lives on land and half in the oceans.
Although all penguin species are native to the Southern Hemisphere, they are not found only in cold climates, such as Antarctica. In fact, only a few species of penguin live so far south. Several species are found in the temperate zone, and one species, the Galápagos penguin, lives near the equator.
The largest living species is the emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri): on average adults are about 1.1 m (3 ft 7 in) tall and weigh 35 kg (77 lb) or more. The smallest penguin species is the little blue penguin (Eudyptula minor), also known as the fairy penguin, which stands around 40 cm (16 in) tall and weighs 1 kg (2.2 lb). Among extant penguins, larger penguins inhabit colder regions, while smaller penguins are generally found in temperate or even tropical climates (see also Bergmann’s rule).
Some prehistoric species attained enormous sizes, becoming as tall or as heavy as an adult human.

Yes they got on the wrong flight I believe.
They are only off by 10,000 miles. So what if there’s less sea ice? It’s only frozen salt water.
I doubt they mean auks, some species of which have been called “penguins” in the past, particularly the now-extinct great auk, which was flightless; other auks, such as guillemots and puffins, can fly.
Nuke antartica! Free the ice! Beachfront property in Kansas. What not to like.
Title was “8 Ball Bunny”

You know, penguins are the worst people to sit next to on an airplane.
All they talk about is fish
They’re always asking the flight attendant for more ice.
They crawl right over the top of you if they have a window seat, and they always have the window seat. And then they pull the shade down and start molting.
I don’t know about everyone else, but I don’t like penguin molt with my peanuts.
Are they a bird? Are they a fish? They’re sure as heck annoying.
Wow. I goof on liberals all the time when they bring up global warming. 90% of them believe me when I “concern” troll them when I say the polar bears ate all the penguins.
Give it a couple of months. It’ll be back.
