Are you a penguin or puffin?
There were a few things I didn't know about penguins when starting this round. Penguins normally lay two eggs at a time, except for the Emperor and King penguin (which lay only one). And the 'wings' are actually called fippers, although most people (including me) call them wings.
I was thinking about tadpole to frog and caterpillar to butterfly the other day, and it occurred to me the tadpole is much like a human embryo... all the parts are there undergoing development until it becomes a fully formed frog (or human).
But with caterpillar to butterfly the word 'metamorphosis' applies even more. Because inside the chrysalis the caterpillar's innards dissolves into a sludge, and then rearranges itself into a very different kind of critter. It's like a 500 piece puzzle showing a picture of a landscape, then you take it apart and put it back together differently to show an entirely different picture.
