In an EPA press release today, it was announced that a Sr. Tennessee Tuxedo IV of Chile, has developed a stable, reproducing, puffin - penguin hybrid that the EPA hopes will rid the Great Lakes of the threat posed by Asian Silver Carp.
Phineas J. Whoopee, lead researcher on the Tuxedo team, lauded his team but expressed regret over the loss of his RA, Chumley, who passed away in the final weeks of tests, after choking on a mullet "He couldn't leave sardines alone. When he spotted that mullet he assumed it was a giant sardine. That was the end of our good friend Chumley.", lamented Whoopie.
The Penguin-Puffin Project will begin in late May in the southern Lake Michigan basin.
