Icy Penguins
Some of the penguin sexual acts observed by Levick, such as necrophilia and what Levick considered "rape," or sexual coercion, shocked and repulsed the zoologist.
The Notebook
Levick kept his notes on the penguins in two separate notebooks, one of which was for the "depraved" sexual acts he observed. The notebook, some coded in Greek, is being displayed until Sept. 2, 2012 at the Natural History Museum's exhibition "Scott's Last Expedition."
