penguin money?
So it might come as a surprise that, at times, penguins behave in ways that seem neither stately nor cute but rather what we humans might call sleazy. To wit, Adélie penguins regularly steal stones from other nests to fortify their own, even though they get pecked and chased in the process. More surprising yet is the recent discovery that some females resort to peddling their bodies in exchange for the precious pebbles.
