Here.
Heh - I’ve mixed feelings here. On the one hand, I’ve gotta respect the penguin’s resourcefulness. On the other - damnit, penguins may be cute, but the orcas are mammals like me. I’ve gotta say, I’m sorry my mammal brothers missed their meal.
Go mammals!
So you would have pushed the penguin back in the water?
But wouldn’t that be interfering, too?
It’s the land of penguins, everyone is in coats, and that lady is wearing open toed shoes?
The last penguin got away because the whales were too bloated from chomping on the rest.
Those whales were sure dumb. There were much easier to obtain meals right on a plate – I mean boat – in front of them.
I was kind of assuming the whales were just going to go for the penguin on the boat. Like, ram into the boat or upturn it. I mean, the boat was so tiny!
Now that’s true Darwinism in action.
Oh, great. That’s how it starts.
First, a penguin figures out that people can save him. Then others follow suit. These intelligent penguins stand a better chance of reproducing, and they do. Then their offspring come up with another survival strategy. Pretty soon we’re overrun with super-intelligent penguins challenging our position on the planet! :eek:
(Incidentally, I once saw a cartoon of a penguin with a Tommy gun. The caption was ‘Penguins have no mercy’. It would behoove us to remember that!)
The Prime Directive is never straightforward.
Nah - I don’t wish the penguin any particular harm. I’m just disappointed that my mammal brothers weren’t sharp enough to catch him.
A boat-load of humans is considered less of a threat than a killer whale?
Apex predators my arse. Those penguins need to be reminded who the masters of the world are.
