LichtenHansen > Genpoo penguin - or more correct - Pooing Gentoo penguin. 
Anyone who has then watched a penguin fire a “shot” from its rear end must have wondered about the pressure the bird generates, but apparently no published data on the pressures produced exist. Since all penguins are protected and one must not approach penguins closer than 5 m (unless one holds a special permit), direct measurements are hard to come by.

LichtenHansen > Adelie penguin chick chase.
Many baby penguin chicks spend a lot of time chasing their parents (or other adult penguins) across the rocks. Parents penguins can recognize their young and will only feed their own chicks. Many adults are chased by several chicks at a time, but the babies not belonging to the adults would eventually quit the chase, allowing the parent to then feed the chosen one.
