Thanks, Ron. I believe this penguin was taken to a vet, although I don't know 
which one. I'm under the impression that cause of death wasn't able to be 
determined, only that it had been mauled by something before or soon after it 
died, so there was a suspicion that a dog attack might have been the cause.
