Stink Week Mascot Nominee: The Magellanic Penguin

Cute.  Just don't stand near by.
Aww.  Isn't he cute?  Just don't stand down wind.  Magellanic penguin mommies produce something called 'crop milk' which is basically barfed up fish remains.  Surprisingly the chicks don't slurp down all the barf and much of it spills on the ground in the colony where it mixes with the penguin poop.  The penguins then march through this swill with their tiny little legs and mix it all up in to a pungent swill.  Oh, and they can shoot their poop three feet in the air.  The Magellanic penguin, ladies and gentlemen.  Cute from a distance and a very good candidiate for Stink Week mascot.
