Penguins are well-known for their abilities at disguise and concealment. Especially the criminal ones. They start small -- stealing stones from neighbouring nests -- and work up from there.
One group of penguins formalised their stone-stealing behaviour to the point that it was governed by an elaborate set of rules, essentially a re-invention of the rules of chess. The best of the group translated his name from your actual Welsh "Pen-gwyn" to the Spanish equivalent, and successfully disguised himself as the world chess chanpion Capablanca. Not many people know that.
Other captions from the NOAA Image archive are equally judgemental:
- A rational depiction of many types of animals with the exception of the giraffe, fanged turtle, unicorn, and reptile-headed dog. The rhinoceros is a little strange also.
- A recognizable cheetah or leopard, a unicorn, and a very strange demon herding lemmings or some other small animal.
- A big mean constrictor's attacking a cow while a human dispatches his brother snake. A skinny hungry snake slithers by in the foreground. A king cobra with hood display while a human is clubbing an unsuspecting snake to death.
- Some bad creatures.

Bad Penguin
Thanks for pointing me over, thundra. Life has come full circle.
Not quite full circle, Jennifer.
Did you know I posted that thunderstorm video, after all?
And as soon as I link to your post in the comments at my place, we will have full circularity.
;-)
Which post? My original Bad Ronald post? Or just linking to posts today?

Drag-&-drop accessories for bad penguin will follow once I am sufficiently caffeinated.
I'm pretty sure the captioning was outsourced to India.
I got your very special penguins right here.

That is NOT DAVID ATTENBOROUGH in that video, wiley, so I do not trust it.
A hoax? Rats. Gullible me.
A recognizable cheetah or leopard, a unicorn, and a very strange demon herding lemmings or some other small animal.
It looks like a very pedestrian demon to me!
There's no such thing as a bad creature, only lethal and non-lethal ones. Penquins are completely non-lethal unless you swallow them whole.
Dat dere's Feathers McGraw... love the drag-and-drops!!
a very strange demon herding lemmings
Yeah, that was me.
