Hitchhikers Without Thumbs?

Penguins live down by the south pole.

But every now and then, one is seen up by the north pole.

How does this happen? They can't fly. You might think they swim the distance? But apparently they don't care for warm water.

So scientists think they arrive as hitchhikers.

Whether as pets, or stowaways,
They hop a boat and ride for days,
Until at the opposite pole they arrive
And into the freezing water they dive.
