Penguins do not build homes; penguins do not live on the Antarctic continent.
When a penguin is ready to lay its egg and hatch its chicks -- done by both males and females of the different penguin types -- the male penguin fills a slight trough with stones indicating a nest.
Once the chicks are hatched and have fledged, all the animals leave Antarctica.
