Penguin roaming areas
By comparing the clues given by Larry and the actual penguin sightings, the roaming area of each of the clues can be determined. More than one clue may be associated with the same penguin and the same clue can sometimes be associated with two different penguins. Seers Village Bush

Penguins are known to change costume during the same day and to change location - such as between Neitiznot and Jatizso. If a penguin disappears from one area and appears in a neighboring area, even with a different costume, then it is suspected that it may be the same penguin/clue/range. If it is indeed the same penguin, then you will get the message, "You've already spotted this penguin spy". (Be careful not to click twice, as that will also generate this message.)

When submitting penguin sightings, please be as specific as possible. Giving a sighting description of "in the deep Wilderness" is not particularly useful when Larry's clue is already "deep Wilderness."

This week's clues given by Larry, the Ardougne Zookeeper.
