Just watching the penguins’ Caper from the Madagascar DVD. It’s a bit... very... different...
I have a LibreOffice Impress slideshow that I wish to turn into a narrated video. 1. export the slideshow as PNG images (if that is partially broken — as at now — at higher resolutions, Export Directly as PDF then use ‘pdftoppm’ (from the poppler-utils package) to do the same). 2. write a small C program (63 lines including comments) to display those images one at a time, writing a config file entry for Imagination (default transition: ‘cross fade’) based on when the image-viewer application (‘display,’ from the GraphicsMagick suite) is closed on each one; run that, read each image aloud, then close each image in turn. 3. run ‘Imagination’ over the config file to produce a silent MP4 video with the correct timings. 4. run ‘Audacity’ to record speech while using ‘SMPlayer’ to display the silent video, then export that recording as a WAV file. 4a. optionally, use ‘TiMIDIty’ to convert a non-copyright-encumbered MIDI tune to WAV, then import that and blend it with the speech (as a quiet b

Given that they live on opposite poles of the planet, I can't see much interaction having happened before, but it's pretty obvious how things would go normally.
The penguins' only serious hope of survival (not voiced in the Christmas Caper here) is that the 3m-tall 600-odd-kilo relatives (Wiamanu) who left fossils in the beach near LCA2006 happen to somehow have survived.
I don't know about beating butterflies, but these feathery dudes (so Kiwi scientists say) certainly beat dinosaurs to the race. And you wouldn't nick fish from them twice, even if you're a polar bear.
Anyone nicking fish from a 600kg bird will pretty much get what they deserve. Especially since those fish will be roughly 1500-3000mm long themselves, and weighing a few hundred kilos (snapper or bluefin tuna were used for typical mass ratios, both of which grow longer and heavier than you).
