I’m pretty sure it was a pelican, not a penguin.

The Pelican

A wonderful bird is the pelican,
His mouth can hold more than his belly can,
He can hold in his beak,
Enough food for a week!
I’m damned if I know how the hell he can!

but it sure is no PENGUIN, english.

Exactly. My late parents were visiting us for Easter one year (we live in the Seattle area, they lived in Chicago). We decided to go to the Woodland Park Zoo with the kids one day. They have an enclosure for the lions and a place where people can see the lion enclosure through a glassed off enclosure.

As we are standing there looking at a couple of female lions, a very dumb duck brought her brood with her to swim in the little pond that the lions got their water from. Well, one of the lions decided that duckling was a good snack, she snuck up on the ducklings and wham!, goodbye duckling, nothing but few feathers flying.

There was an audible gasp by the people who were there with their kids, but it was an education.

This is how my family reacts at Christmas when my mother takes the pork roast comes out of the oven.

Exactly. I remember Rush saying something about this a few years ago...specifically about animals. He recalled how personifying animals (i.e. cartoons, advertising, etc.) would be a bad idea because you were essentially teaching kids that the monkey in the cage is friendly, the snake on the ground sticks its tongue out because it wants a kiss, and the tiger in the jungle is just a big pussie cat waiting to be cuddled.

A whale is a whale of course of course
And no one can change a killer whale of course
Unless of course lunch drops in on the famous Shamu whale.

Note to self:

Do NOT make a pet out of anything that has “killer” in their name.

Smart creatures, Orcas.

I was in the Gasteanu channel (Juneau) a few decades ago on a friends boat. We were fishing for salmon.

I hooked one, brought it to the transom of the boat and reached down to pull it up into the boat (heavy line, small boat, no net needed).

Imagine my surprise when an Orca pulled the salmon out of my hand and took off with it. the orca could have EASILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! taken my:

Hand
Arm
Entire body

BUT, it knew that the fish was enough.

Remember in the movie JAWS when Roy Scheider has the shark come to the back of the boat and he says: ‘We're gonna need a bigger boat?’ That's how I reacted. Times two.

True story.

There were 2 stories about killer whales today, one with a penguin (who survived), the other with a pelican who didn’t.

Knowing you as I do, I suspect you did not watch “the kill.”

The whales behaved much as dogs would if they happened to catch a stray bird or squirrel.
