Antarctica: emperor huddles, krill, clear-blooded fish and stone-stealing penguins, sentence 3
Cartoons and adverts often show polar bears chasing penguins, but that can never happen in the wild: polar bears live in the Arctic in the far north, and penguins live in the south, on opposite ends of the planet.
Who acts: Cartoons, polar bears, that, penguins · What happens: show, chase, not happen, live · To what, where: polar bears, penguins, wild, Arctic, south
