Who counted them?

Actually quite easy. Count the toenails and divide by three.

The BBC’s Planet Earth series has a really cool segment on penguins as well.

You don't want to eat penguins.

They taste like what they eat and they eat fish.

Yeah, but what if you like fish?

It’s kind of a twofer isn’t it?

If you look closely at your picture then you can see the secret penguin city that has been concealed from Mankind.

When I did that I got over three million penguins.

If you ever find yourself hanging out on Antarctica's Danger Islands, we hope you like penguins. There's a lot of them there. A previously unknown "mega-colony" of Adelie penguins have been found on the islands, which sit on Antarctica's northern tip. More than 1.5 million of the birds were found in 2015 during a survey of the area, according to a report in the journal Scientific Reports.

And Batman thought he knew where they all were...
