ho thanks
that's not obvious because in French, the "pingouins" live in Arctic and the
"manchots" in Antartica
And my English-French dictionnary says "penguin" for both "manchot" AND
"pingouin", says "auk" as second translation for "pingouin", and translates
"auk" as "pingouin" AND "manchot", so...
But I'm pretty well sure that some species of those in Arctic (whatever
their name are :-)) fly, may it be for only 5-15 meters and that those in
Antartica are flightless, are always very straight, and walk by balancing
their weight on their feet (what makes them looking very funny!)

I don't know who chose those names but they could have done better...
