Found myself observing penguin anthropology for about 20 mins at Warsaw Zoo yesterday:
They seemed intent on negotiating how to go about things in a group, with, at different times, various leaders giving the final decision to go in the water for the fish or not:
After the leader, most of the rest followed, but when some came out of the water with fish in their mouths and dropped them, a few others were lying in wait to steal the fish.
Have often heard it said that penguins have a social life mirroring that of humans, and there did seem to be a clear resemblance.
