Penguins may not be used to sand - after all, the icy conditions of the Antarctic are very far from sunny beaches.
But this group is feeling right at home now that they have been given company in the form of sand-sculptures of their fellow penguins.
The sculptures were created by an artist in order to console the birds after the departure of another group to whom they had become attached.

Aren’t the hippies always telling us how smart these animals are?
Oh, sure, freak the poor things out wondering what their friends did to be turned to stone!!!
Hey ladies, I’m Tom. What’s your name? Sandieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
lol
That is sooo sad. The poor penguins fell in love with the visitors and were already beginning to think of names for their children. Of course they’re going to be depressed. The love of their life has been cruelly taken away.
I believe the newly revised penguin bible mentions looking back and being turned to pillars of sand...
LOL...good one!

The sand penquins disintegrate in a few weeks or so, natural erosion...my God! Can you imagine what the live penquins will think seeing their friends decomposing? Has anyone done a complete psychological analysis by an animal behaviorist of what the trauma might be?
I see PETA getting involved her pretty soon...
