"in its april 1995 issue discover magazine announced that the highly respected wildlife biologist dr. aprile pazzo had discovered a new species in antarctica: the hotheaded naked ice borer. these fascinating creatures had bony plates on their heads that, fed by numerous blood vessels, could become burning hot, allowing the animals to bore through ice at high speeds. they used this ability to hunt penguins, melting the ice beneath the penguins and causing them to sink downwards into the resulting slush where the hotheads consumed them. after much research, dr. pazzo theorized that the hotheads might have been responsible for the mysterious disappearance of noted antarctic explorer philippe poisson in 1837. "to the ice borers, he would have looked like a penguin," the article quoted"
