Actually its just a glitch when penguins eat. To get rid of the fish just crate and uncrate the penguin and it should return to normal.

Yeah, thanks, I noticed when they were doing everything with fish in their mouth that something must have been wrong.

yeah, dolphins do this sometimes too. I just pick them up and put them somewhere new. I don't really mind, and it doesn't happen that often anyway.

has anyone noticed that after they have installed MM2, the animals have pieces of food in their mouth after eating? i know that some of the MM2 animals and the emperor penguin do this with fish..but my florida panthers eat meat and then they have a red thing in their mouth after they're done eating, and the weird thing is...IT STAYS THERE!!:blink:  it also happens with my p. wild horses, all the big cats, and sometimes just random animals...idk if its a glitch or a function...help??:huh:

You know, I've never noticed that.  I guess I'm not very observant, lol.  It's probably just a glitch.

Maybe its like a milk mustache. except.....of meat. MM2 animals do take fish other places to eat but I have yet to notice it with land animals. I may be mistaken though.

As a glitch, it cannot be stopped permanently, it can only be rid of with a walkaround, meaning doing something to make it stop. In this case, the only way to get them to stop is to crate and then uncrate the animal.

but, sometimes, if you crate a animal, it crates thin air, but says its the animal, while the animal is swimming around the crate.  and you cant get rid of the crate!

yeah..i know you can hand feed the animals after training them, i just think its a graphics detail glitch thing w/ the food getting stuck in their mouths. it gets really annoying though!

At first I thought it was a cool new behaviour where they swam with fish in their mouths then ate them but then realised that the fish didn't go away, even when the penguin went onto land.

There is a pic of what it looks like on the first page.
