These penguins have apparently been doing just fine for about 2,500 years without any assistance from humans. Now that they have been discovered and the “scientists” have declared that they intend to protect them, we have reason to be concerned. Bad news for the penguins.

Next time I go to that Chinese restaurant I am taking a puzzle with nothing but penguins so I can entertain myself during the wait.

They stayed “hidden”? From whom? It’s not like people were looking for them for the first 2,500 years or more.
There is something “fishy” about that headline.

People were looking for penguins there 2800 years ago?

I believe the Danger Islands were one of the stops on Odysseus’ wanderings on the way home from Troy. Homer left it out because no one would believe his description of penguins.
