Two cats and one dog missing in my neighborhood, currently. Sad, but the coyotes seem to thrive for some reason.

It was a happy ending for the varmint that ate him.

Scientists who released the penguin back into the ocean say the signal from a tracking device has stopped and they fear the bird has been eaten.

I have a question for them. Did the tracking device help a varmint track him?

“I have a question for them. Did the tracking device help a varmint track him? “

Well, if the shark had a radio receiver capable of receiving the proper frequencies and decoding the location information and displaying it on a screen, then YES I am sure the tracking device helped the the varmint track him.

Why would you think sharks, or other predators, would not have built in receivers?

It may have slowed down the penguin enough so that whatever ate him could catch up.

Mostly google images :-) In this case I just googled “Orca eats Penguin”.
