Other commentators such as Matt Walker have pointed out that many penguin 'adoptions' of chicks are in fact kidnappings, that weak chicks are frequently the victims of infanticide, that albino penguins are ostracised and attacked and that prostitution is practiced by at least one species of penguins (New Scientist, October 1, page 17).
Okay, I must ask... What in the world would penguin prostitutes be paid in? Are they given fish by the other penguin at the end of the act?
"Don't you feel bored playing all this easy tennis? Why don't you stop fooling around like a child?"
"I am a child."
