Holy Xploding Xmas Penguins!
While looking for the mythical northern gravy springs, a small group of scientists recently discovered this new species of penguin living off a small island close to Wigan Pier.
The penguin was given the genus (B*ggerItBirdycus) after the unique way it defends itself against predators. When attacked or feeling threatened, such as being exposed to Christmas carol lift muzak, the penguin explodes, forcing the attacker to retreat.
While the scientists where pleased to find this new species, they are concerned that numbers are declining. As yet, scientists are unable to explain this strange decline, though the foremost theory is the creatures are rather partial to fine Cuban cigars.
Another theory suggests that the demise of the smaller colony reported in the Blackpool area, is related to environmental factors and reproductive practices that are common to most species in the area. Living in sports bar and trying to mate with slow moving trams.
The model in the zipfile accurately represents an adult male bird, with typical winter head plumage. The pose is typical of many northern species. It is believed this is an attempt to make passing visitors think it's tougher than it actually looks. Usually when in this pose, the bird can be heard to make the mating call of 'gisafag'.

Good Heavens! I take comfort that they seem to be confined to the other side of the pond from me. We have enough trouble trying to contend with the napalm spraying skunks in the woods here abouts. Is there a projection as to how much damage these things might do inside my runtime?
What a beautiful, majestic animal!
I need to watch for this one in case I ever decide to do an Audubon Society "big year". :o)
skull = thanks
Wow! What a discovery. Thanks for sharing with us.
*wipes tears from her eyes* Man, what a hilarious birdie! Thank you for sharing it and its story with us ^.^
I knew my Runtime was missing something - a penguin to put on top of the television set!
Thanks!
Thanks for the mental image that make my eyes water and cross at the same time... :ahhh:
Depends on how many baked beans they've eaten...:)
