I knew this would happen someday. There have been numerous reports of seals eating penguins.

A penguin takes his car down to the shop because it’s been running funny.
The mechanic takes a look at the car and then goes to talk to the penguin in the waiting room. The penguin has some white stuff all over his face.
The mechanic says “it looks like you blew a seal.”
The penguin says, pointing to his face, “no, that’s just some ice cream I’ve been eating.”
Ba dum dump!

Are they sure it wasn’t a Brit naval officer in oilskins?
(IIRC, during WWII a Brit officer kept a ‘pet’ penguin in his cabin, but was never caught in the act, though the captain &/or XO tried several times. It may also have been part of a novel; many years since I read references to it.)
At least the seal and king penguin are pretty much of a size, unlike the guy arrested a few years ago for sexually abusing chickens in his blood & feather spattered motel room.
And is this really any stranger than the queer killed in Washington state, when he made/let the stallion ‘use’ him?
I won’t even mention some of the wierd things done in Africa, like the three-way involving the chimp, the vacuum cleaner, and the... NO; I WON’T go there!
These South African scientists need to get out of the lab more.
