Kooky, right?<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a hint from Modern Farmer<\/u><\/em><\/a>: \u201cHome to around 3,000 people and roughly half-a-million sheep, [this] British territory is a major wool producer. Besides being one of the only places in the world where sheep and penguins routinely share pasture, [this place] bears the distinction as the nation with the highest percentage of certified organic land.\u201d<\/p>\n

You\u2019re close\u2014well, hemispherically speaking, anyway\u2014but no cigar, sister.<\/p>\n

The location where sheep and cattle share space with penguins (and occasional beached sea lions) is some 5,200 ocean miles east of New Zealand, just around the tip of South America\u2019s Cape Horn:<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ll see sheep walking right through the middle of the penguin colony, and the penguins don\u2019t even turn a head,\u201d Falkland farmer Mike Rendell told Modern Farmer<\/em> with a chuckle. \u201cYou don\u2019t see a cow going up and licking a penguin or anything like that, they just get on with their own lives. They don\u2019t seem to have any issues at all.\u201d<\/p>\n
