alright, time for a high school student(that is actually smart) to come in here. Antarctica, has no natives, penguins live there. The arctic has has natives, called the inuits(sp), but they don't have penguins, they have polar bears, but no penguins. Penguins lay eggs. Nobody other than a few scientists live in antarctica.

That was the answer to the riddle...the natives of the Arctic don't eat penguin eggs cuz there are no penguins living there.
