It may be well to pay attention to this and related southern penguin 
stories in light of the increasingly endangered northern polar bears 
because there may be someone sufficiently stupid to want to introduce 
the northern "charismatic mega-fauna," as one local professor describes 
them, into the southern ecosystem of Antarctica.  This would undoubtedly 
more than decimate the penguin population and alter the ecosystem 
balances of its supporting species.  Penguins and polar bears flourish 
at opposite poles for good reasons.

And don't forget Linux, the computer operating system, for which the 
penguin is mascot, is an increasingly important electronic ecosystem 
inhabitant with valuable symbiotic benefits for the humans who interact 
with it.
