In the Arctic, the name 'penguin' was given to the penguins that people see today, so polar bears did eat 'penguins', but this penguin was not the other penguin." The question of polar bears eating penguins has to be solved.

It began more than 500 years ago. Early European navigators discovered a large bird that was black from behind and white from the front on some islands near the North Pole. This bird had two small

It has flightless wings. It is nearly one meter tall and very fat. It sways when walking and jumps when going downhill. It is so cute.

They live carefree on islands as flat as egg pancakes around the Arctic Ocean.

In fact, these flat islands in the Arctic seem to be tailor-made for them. These islands are not suitable for flying seabirds to inhabit at all, because flying seabirds need to use updrafts when taking off, so they generally choose

Islands with cliffs.

Without the competition from those annoying guys, flightless seabirds have taken over here. In fact, they don’t need to fly at all. They are all good swimmers. The abundant small fish and shrimps in the Arctic Ocean are enough for them to feed themselves.

.

The animal is called penguin, a name that is retained in its Latin name Pinguinus impennis.

Later, the navigators came to the Antarctic Sea. On some islands, they actually saw "the Arctic animals they were familiar with" - "black when viewed from the back, white when viewed from the front, and two small

The wings are flightless and very fat. They sway when walking and jump when going downhill. They are so cute."

Penguin!

Penguin!

People cheered, thinking that this funny animal was distributed at both ends of the earth.

In fact, these two birds are not even remotely related.

But just when people were cheering for the discovery of penguins in Antarctica, the penguins in the Arctic ushered in their disaster.

On the harsh Arctic Ocean, the crew soon discovered that penguins are actually an economical resource that can be obtained anytime and anywhere. They are flightless and silly, and can easily be herded into sampans in large groups.

Or a slaughterhouse, so you can have big pots of fat stew for dinner.

Since penguin is rich in fat, it is also a very good fuel if it is thrown directly into the fire pit. Therefore, cooking penguin with penguin became a maritime delicacy at that time.

People's reckless behavior always leads to irreversible situations.

While the crews were roasting penguin fires and chewing penguin meat in the cold polar regions, museums and nobles in the Old World were also collecting specimens of this rare and exotic bird.

As a result, this situation did not last long. One day in the early summer of 1844, on a small island near Iceland, three hunters who came here to search for specimens in order to obtain high bounties asked for the last pair of specimens on our planet.

While the eggs were being hatched, Arctic Penguin swung a big stick over his head... and the last bird egg was crushed on the spot.

Since then, Penguin's name has been officially transferred to our Antarctic partners, and it can only be officially transferred to our Antarctic partners. Penguin is translated into Chinese as "Penguin".

And the real penguin - those lost Arctic birds, later translated as auk.

Polar bears are the boss of the Arctic. Their staple food is seals, but they also have the right to choose non-staple food!

In fact, in addition to the staple food, Arctic Boss's menu also includes birds, fish, seaweed, berries, and even fermented food that smells like stinky tofu - rotten meat.

Yes, more than five hundred years ago, 'penguins' were indeed the food of polar bears.
