So here's us, on the raggedy edge.

Penguins take fishing trips with their buddies
10 October 2007Penguins make bosom buddies and they like to team up with them when going on fishing expeditions.
Little penguins, the smallest penguin species, go on long fishing trips to feed their chicks. Like many other penguins they cross the beach in groups of five to 10 birds, as being in troops helps protect individuals from predators. The suggestion is that these groups fish cooperatively, in which case you might expect the birds to seek out good teammates rather than form groups at random.
