Some types of whales - baleen whales - survive on plankton. However,
other whales - orcas, also known as killer whales - are carnivores that
are more than capable of eating penguins. (My dictionary says "preys on
large fish, seals, and whales.") I rather like the orca whale as a logo,
despite and partially because of their fondness for penguins. If any one
asks about it, we can just smile enigmatically.
