Juan Salvador / 胡安·萨尔瓦多

Juan Salvador / 胡安·萨尔瓦多 is the rescued [[MagellanicPenguin|Magellanic penguin / 麦哲伦企鹅]] at the center of [[ThePenguinLessons|《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. [[TomMichell|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 [[StGeorgesSchool|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 [[MariaStGeorges|玛利亚]]. Its death later turns the memoir from an amusing rescue story into a grief and responsibility story.
