Yes, folks, the animal kingdom has its very own red light district---Antarctica. Haha. Turns out some lady penguins are turning to prostitution to get rocks (a very hot commodity in Penguin Land, by the way) off their male counterparts. I suppose the economy hasn’t been kind to our tuxedo-wearing buddies as well. This is old news actually, but I just happened to recall this random bit of info as I watched a bunch of penguins frolic on TV at the exact time a certain Nelly Furtado song played in the background.
But don’t you fret, Chilly Willy lovers. The percentage of prostitute penguins is quite low. Also, certain types of penguins do keep the same mate for life while Emperor Penguins are monogamous…for a year.
