Penguins in the Ukraine

This is a great card.  It came to me from the Ukraine.  Now I am left to ponder what is the tie between penguins and that country.  First, wild penguins are one found in the southern hemisphere.  There is a Unkrainian, Alexei Ponikarovsky, who plays for the Pittsburgh Penguins hockey team.  Author  Andrey Kurkov wrote a book called Death and the Penguin after reading a story about the Kiev Zoo. Whatever the connection, this is a great card.
