Re: Penguins!
They'd be Auks, surely? Penguins aren't historically accurate.

You can hunt Mammoths with Steel Tools and put a Nordic Trolls head on display in your Windmill next to the stone axe you still use for butchering in the iron age.Vesena wrote:They'd be Auks, surely? Penguins aren't historically accurate.

Re: Penguins!
Well the interesting thing is the first penguin was the great auk (Pinguinus impennis), we wiped them out. Called everything afterwards that looked like in southern hemisphere a penguin even though they arent related (convergent evolution).Vesena wrote:They'd be Auks, surely?

Also penguin might be the only word in the english language of welsh/breton/cornish origin.

Fun story, true story: The extant penguins are not actually penguins in the sense of belonging to the genus pinguinis.Vesena wrote:Penguins aren't historically accurate.
