Just as a side note.  I visited some web-sites on Northern Hemisphere
penguins- the 'Great Auk'.

Seems like they got wiped out in the last cenury.  Probably why the Southern
ones are so guarded.  It wasn't fly-tiers that created the greed for the
bird, tho.  It also seems they were quite callous in their attitudes towards
animal extinction at that time.
