The Emperor Penguin

Penguins, by necessity, tend to be self-sufficient animals. One band of the birds abandoned any attempt to support themselves, begging other penguins for their hard-earned catch and even stealing the fish if the harder working penguins turned even momentarily. The leader of the less industrious brood always strutted about with his chest out, seeming to take credit for an effort that was not his and evading all blame when times were bad by directing scorn to penguins who led other groups or even the predecessor who had led his own band, who had some of the same characteristics but was no where near as bad. If the emperor penguin creating such dependency had a human name, it might be "Barry".
