Hi Olivia,Your penguin was very mean. As soon as I caught it it began trash talking and proceeded to bite and peck. I had to let that penguin go. Actually I have not been able to get very close to any of the penguins. We saw some from the helicopter the other day but they were very far off. Besides, we cannot touch or disturb any of the wildlife, even when attacked by them. They have some very large birds called Skuas that will knock you over to get food if they see you have some. I've seen it happen. I'm not messing with any of the wildlife here, you have to be super tough to make it on this continent. See you soon,JK
