Why does TV character Frasier Crane quip that Arctic Penguins mate for life? as this type of penguin does not even exist (all penguins live in the ANtarctic!!)

I think Frasier says it to test other knowledge(or lack of it!) and if they agree he can pick them up on their ignorance.( Typical of Frasier)
Whilst there are no penguins in the Arctic,there is a large colohy of penguins just off of Capetown.

Hi Heathfield
This (http://www.northpolep...om/penguin/aurora.ph
p)
is a well-known joke URL - there are NO penguins in the Arctic!!: see that northpolepenguin website's associated webpage re where they own up re the tall tale, at:
http://www.northpolep...penguin/factfict.php: the website states:
"In truth, the Arctic Aurora Penguin is actually all fiction. We made up the entire bird, its history, its biology. There have never been penguins in the arctic."
In hindsight, I wonder whether the writers of 'Frasier' decided to have Frasier mention this Arctic penguins comment as the character of Phoebe in another TV series ('Friends') also mentions a similar line, that lobsters mate for life. Which it turns out is another spurious claim, totally fictional!! Maybe a writer wrote on both comedy series so decided to pull the same joke again?! Who knows?!
