Pluto is a planet in the same Solar System as Earth.

Penguin Reserve[]

After a soberness-induced accident by Bender caused him to spill Dark Matter on top of the Penguin Reserve, the penguins begin multiplying at incredible rates. As Waterfall puts it:

Your "garden variety" penguin lays one egg a year. Since the spill our penguins have been laying 6 eggs... Every 15 minutes!

Also, the eggs hatch in only 12 hours.

Also the males are laying eggs.

Leela decides to join an ecological movement to save the penguins as it is a penguin habitat, but waterfall and his followers explain to her the only solution would be to hunt penguins in order to save them.

At some point, Bender, having a malfunction causing him to believe he was a penguin, leads the penguins to war on all non-penguins in the planet, killing waterfall senior but later turning on the planet express crew too, when Bender removes his tuxedo assuming the penguins will see them as one of their own. The crew is forced to quickly escape Pluto, and it's suggested that the remaining penguins pick up the hunters' weapons and learn to use firearms, their future remains unknown.
