Juan Salvador / 胡安·萨尔瓦多
Juan Salvador / 胡安·萨尔瓦多 is the rescued Magellanic penguin / 麦哲伦企鹅 at the center of 《企鹅课》 / The Penguin Lessons, as discussed in 138.企鹅课:我在海滩上捡到一位Q老师. Tom Michell / 汤姆·米切尔 finds it alive among oil-covered dead penguins in Uruguay, cleans it, tries unsuccessfully to return it to the sea, and eventually brings it to St. George’s School / 圣乔治学校 in Argentina.
The episode treats Juan Salvador as a living individual rather than a symbol only after Michell names it. At school, the penguin becomes a listener, mascot, swimming companion, and shared care object for students, teachers, workers, and 玛利亚. Its death later turns the memoir from an amusing rescue story into a grief and responsibility story.
