Yes, there is never penguins in the North Pole. Not even in the past
I found this
The word āpenguinā first appears in the sixteenth century as a synonym for āgreat aukā. Although the etymology is debated, the generic name āpenguinā may be derived from the Welsh pen gwyn āwhite headā, either because the birds lived in Newfoundland on White Head Island (Pen Gwyn in Welsh), or, because the great auk had such large white circles on its head. When European explorers discovered what today are known as penguins in the Southern Hemisphere, they noticed their similar appearance to the great auk and named them after this bird, although biologically, they are not closely related. Whalers also lumped the northern and southern birds together under the common name āwogginsā.
Yes, is the great auk first bird that get name āpenguinā. Then, the south pole explorers put that name on today āpenguinā in the Southern Hemisphere. And then, when the great auk extinct, the today āpenguinā steal its name
Anyway, the great auk or Pinguinus impennis is not closely related to penguins. It is because of convergent evolution (Convergent evolution - Wikipedia).
The name penguin come from alcinae pinguinus so alca torda is more a penguin than all the birds that english language call penguin.
French wording is the good one here
Ok so itās what i say since the beginning. Alca are the real penguins. Itās just that a english speaking dumb says in the past when they discover the black n white birds in the south hemisphere āoooh look! They looks like the grand penguin so we will name them penguins!ā
I am not sure but I think no. The word āpenguinā first appears in the sixteenth century as a synonym for āgreat aukā but I think not for Alca torda or Razorbill.
We know that āgreat aukā close relate to āAlca tordaā by modern mtDNA sequences analysis. But with morphological and biogeographical studies, we only know that it is āaukā (Auk - Wikipedia). So, I am not sure. But I think no because not all āaukā will be call āpenguinā. In that time, people donāt know that Alca torda is closest living relative of the āgreat aukā.
Because of the wording, I think Mr. Pengi is actually the Great Auk not today āpenguinā. That is why he is in the north pole. SG just give his name āMr. Pengiā but it doesnāt mean āMr. Pengiā is today āpenguinā.
I dont change neither. And itās a fact auk was the first si the true penguins. Your penguins are not penguins because they are the secind one. They must have been called with another name. So itās only logic, and iām right, there is penguins in north. Latin name is the reference before english
So, it isnāt surprise that Mr. Pengi might really be ātoday penguinā
Edit : It look like there is someone really try to introduce penguin to north pole
In 1936, a Norwegian polar explorer named Lars Christensen saw the potential for an Arctic penguin population. He plucked nine king penguins from South Georgiaās beaches and sent them north aboard the SS Neptune . They were settled on the Lofoten islands, where they would be safe from foxes and other land predators. Over the next decade, other speciesā of penguin, including macaroni penguins, were also introduced.
Their existence in the Arctic was short-lived, and the last time they were spotted was in 1949. No one is sure where they went or whether they managed to reproduce, but for a short time, a beautiful island in the Arctic played host to a small population of penguins.
The developers are in Finland I believe. Even if they are from a country close to the arctic, I do not think they have the knowledge or it is not their priority. So, like you, I think they put a southern penguin at the north pole.
The Guardians of Teltoc appear to be robot animals rather than normal biological ones, so the rules wouldnāt apply. The pandas are humanoid too. The only tigers I can think of are Fluffy, who is a circus performer so might well be partly dressed, and rare titans - there are Leors, who are part lion, part human. I guess completely made-up animals can live wherever they like! (Would you want to argue with Azlar?)
Nah, I think weāve nailed it with Mr Pengi being a Great Auk. That explanation makes me happy anyway. An alternative theory is that heās just paying a Christmas visit to his friends in the north.
