Random musing here, but I was watching that movie, March of the Penguins with the D a little while ago and I couldn't help but see some parallels in the behavior of the Emperor Penguins and the WAWs. These penguins march down as couples and the female lays a solitary egg, then she splits to go get food and the male stays behind to keep the egg warm until it hatches, while the female heads out to feed.

As I was watching it, my D says to me "See, penguin dads get left behind with the kids, too." I remember smiling at her comment, but it made me think that nature may be one small component of the WAW psychology.
