I don't like penguins. I think they're stupid. I see no reason for a species to exist whose sole aims are to freeze, starve, and look after an egg on the most unforgiving place on earth. Why would any species make the choice to evolve into such an awful existence? In a deeper level I guess it saddens me that the will to survive and pass on genes is is strong enough to create a whole species whose sole aim is suffering and procreating. Some cynics have said that the reason I don't like the birds is that this existence hits too close to home, but I doubt it. Humans are wild and free, creatures of pleasure and the occasional ultra violent genocidal outbreak. there's culture in that, epic books and great movies inspired.. certainly more exciting than shivering on top of an egg for six months while your friends freeze and die all around you, then spending the other 6 months walking and starving, just to do it again.
Penguins, you're cute, but for all your efforts you might as well have thrown in the towel a long time ago. I'm not impressed.
