I brought you a present.

^^^ this reminded me of a story I read lately.

The Antarctic has its own avian predator. The skuas are gulls that will prey upon penguin chicks and even adult penguins. These are large, aggressive birds, described by some as "seagulls from hell". There were an early penguin exhibit where people accidentally observed some instinctual behavior in penguins interacting with skuas. A feature that we don't see in current penguin exhibits was the inclusion of two skuas. The skuas had clipped wings, so they could not be as agressive as they usually are, penguins usually don't attack skuas, so what could go wrong? The skuas initially spent their time bullying the assembled penguins. A wild penguin can flee from a pursuing skua, but unlike in the exhibit corners tend to be uncommon in nature. It didn't take long for one of the penguins to find itself cornered by a skua. The cornered penguin pecked back at the harassing skua. One reason penguins don't often bother with trying to engage a skua attacker is that skuas fly and penguins don't. But these two skuas had their wings clipped. The skua gave a flap that lifted it momentarily off the ground. This probably gave away that he can not fly. Every penguin there suddenly swiveled its head to bear on the skua, then attacked. Within seconds, there were no longer any live skuas in the exhibit.

Oh, hi, here is one for you.
