They are definately not the most photographed arctic animal, as they live in Antartica. They could be the most photographed ANTarctic animals, however.

Dear Oneoflittleharmony,

At first glance, it would seem that you had found a mistake in the work of our fact checkers. I did a bit of research beyond the obvious and support the factoid that Emperor Penguins are the most photographed arctic animal.

In our factoid, we used the word "arctic", which is used to denote a temperature zone of the planet Earth. This is very different from "Arctic", which denotes a specific geographical region (in fact, the Northern arctic temperature zone).

Although it is a seemingly minute differentiation, it is our goal at Gullible.info to report the best factoids to you and without inaccuracies such as you have pointed out. We're proud to say the inaccuracy is yours, and not ours.

Best,

Rot Bottom

According to the Collin English Dictionary, the Arctic (capatilised) is used to denote the area around the nroth pole, as you correctly have pointed out. However, arctic is only used to denote a "cold area" informally, as in arctic weather. The only use of "arctic" (lowercase) is when describing arctic style weather, not the region from which an animal comes from.

In this case, it would be much more factually correct to be stating the Antarctic animal, rather than the actic animal.

Emporer Penguins.

Shouldn't we point out that Emporor Penguins speciated from Emperor Penguins after 10 breeding pairs had been introduced to the North Polar region in the 1930s as a potential food source for Polar Bears?

Yeah, how do you manage to spell Antarctic correctly and incorrectly in the same sentence?

Is that during the mating season?

You know, I see more penguins than polar bears.

If my opinion counts.
