History WMG / ThePenguinsofMadagascar

* Personally I'd bet on Rico. His gruff voice may be less due to testosterone than throat damage from coughing up running chainsaws...
** Well, in "Tagged" Rico ''did'' grin at the idea of Skipper preening him. Miss Perky could be a bluff. She's not been seen for a while. Trouble is, ALL of the penguins act AmbiguouslyGay at times, and if one of them is female then somebody else is, to put it basically... not.
*** Skipper, as the leader, is right out (plus his 1950s style sexism towards Marlene also puts him out). We've seen Private's thoughts, and he's just incredibly babyish - rainbows and unicorns, anybody? Kowalski has Doris, and when he fantasised about that jeep he called it 'she'. I'd call it on Rico, and Miss Perky was a bluff that he seems to have forgotten about. That, or she was a cover for him being gay. Trouble is that all those AmbiguouslyGay moments mean somebody's not good at hiding it.

* Did you just forget to mention Skipper?
** One female penguin bossing around all the males? If you thought Kowalski being female would cause protests...
** ''Miss Understanding'' already covered some of that ground, without even getting into the point above, as StatusQuoIsGod asserted itself before they could get into that aspect too much.
*** Obviously the penguins' frequent AmbiguouslyGay behaviour is what convinced Alice one was female.

* Rico just seems too obvious, since he seems to have the most AG moments (for the purpose of messing with our heads, it seems). Skipper, as the leader, is right out (plus his massive 1950s style sexism also puts him down). We've seen Private's thoughts, and he's just incredibly babyish - rainbows and unicorns, anybody? I'd put my money on Kowalski and tell the fangirls they can suck on it. But chances are the writers have too much fun with the DoubleEntendres and AmbiguouslyGay scenes to ever tell us.

** According to [[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17972270 this article]], female ring-tailed lemurs have an enlarged clitoris, so at first glance anyone not familiar with lemurs may not notice, even if you assume they can see through his fur when the viewers of the cartoon can't thanks to artistic convention.

* Fred is Zack. Fred dated Marlene and Zack dated Penny, and both suffer from the ''exact'' same kind of total stupidity.

Would reduce the UnfortunateImplications mentioned above, and the whole {{Discworld}}/MonstrousRegiment potential is fun.

** Maybe the penguins' AmbiguouslyGay behaviour is what convinced Alice one was female.

In ''his'' case, due to a slight mix-up, he was sent to an Earth realm rather than a Netherworld or Celestia. To cover for this, his soul was sown into a "sturdier" penguin-esque shell -- he would have stood out too much as a regular Prinny. He has most of a Prinny's regular abilities; but he likely ''won't'' explode if thrown, since penguins don't have easy access to quick resurrection. His atonement is to serve under Skipper and the others as a completely loyal soldier -- note the following:

** That way is not particularly up on widely-accepted transgender etiquette, but maybe they just didn't want to argue with the logic loop. Officially a female's supposed to rule, so he can only rule if he's female, but if he's the ruler he can do whatever he wants including declaring himself male ... Meh, either way they all seem to have ended up happy enough, and in a world where it's apparently fairly common to not notice one's own biological sex and Julien seemingly didn't know how to tell he was a mammal, you can't blame them.
