Bizarre Penguin News

If you ever thought having your leg humped by a terrier was bad, check out what scientists from the Mammal Research Institute at the University of Pretoria witnessed at a colony of King penguins.

WARNING: the article contains somewhat graphic descriptions of the event--caveat clicker.
