Snow Chick: A Penguin's Tale
This enchanting film follows the adventures of one charismatic emperor penguin from the time he emerges from the egg to the moment he leaves for the sea. Emperor penguins grow up during the winter in one of the coldest places on Earth - the Antarctic. The conditions are harsh and chicks must endure temperatures of minus 60 degrees Celsius and terrifying blizzards. This film follows the trials and tribulations of one adorable fluffy chick - from his first tentative steps on the ice, to getting lost, to hanging out with the other chicks. It also shows the lengths his parents will go to provide food, overcoming huge obstacles, avoiding predators like leopard seals, and enduring freezing conditions. Full of tense and moving moments as well as comedy and character, Snow Chick follows the emperor penguin's life story in a level of detail never attempted before.

You are half right, females become weak after producing the egg, it consumed a lot resources to make it, so they are the first to go back to the ocean to eat, and bring food. The males will be the first to stay and care for the egg, resiting one of the coldest times on earth, the female will come back, feed them and then the male will go back to the ocean for food. Both do exactly the same, they take turns.

Their natural predators can also walk on land (skuas and giant petrels).

[@dianaraisa9420]

It’s a pity, of course, for such a cute little fluffy one if the birds want to eat him (I remember the cartoon “The Old Sailor's Tales. Antarctica,” where a boy student of an old captain saved an emperor penguin chick from a skua and also shouted to the latter, “Drop the child, you hooligan!”😊)

[@dianaraisa9420]

As for what penguins think of humans: in Happy Feet, the protagonist, the young emperor penguin Mumble, also decided about zoo visitors that they were freaks, “big ugly black penguins with no beaks” (the same as the skua that once tried to eat him , decided about the ornithologists who caught and banded him). In this film, different birds show amazing unanimity towards humans ☺

@@leealvin121 They made whole seasons of following a meerkat colony and they acted totally naturally around them but so much so they just stood on their heads as it was a handy platform. Similar with a show on big cats, they were so used to the jeeps they'd use them as look out posts and certain females would bring the cubs to the camera guy and then went hunting, but that stopped the guy from following her as he was now on babysitting duty. Reminds me of my own feral cat, I couldn't pet her or put my hand in the box with her babies but she still left them alone with me, going to do her bussiness for a few minutes while I was in the room, I think housecats look for a babysitter though. At around 6 weeks she put them on my bed and I was on night duty while she rested under my bed.

The animals can progress only to the equivalent of a human toddler. So they forget these horrible experiences very soon, but not completely forgetten. If they were not in the human world, they can be more than just a toddler. Interesting that they can do one or two adult human traits well...like caring for the needy young, and building nest/shelter, or furnishing a den for added comfort. They also defend/hunt well...has to do with the food chain and keeping their world and habitat in balance the "cruel" way. Our domesticated pet cats and dogs practice defensive and hunt the playful way...a lot less "cruel".

That mother is a lifesaver how could the rest of them just watch..

[@romeothompson9389]

Oh god lol such a dumb comment

[@psychedelicpayroll5412]

They’re animals. Not all of them have a exact moral compass like us.

[@laurakastrup]

On top of that if most of them are mother’s themselves do you think they’ll give up their own child to save someone else’s? They only have one pouch. The males in the colony don’t have pouches and when they get that big they don’t fit underneath the male in general so they stop roosting the baby at that stage. Anthropomorphising animals (putting human ideals onto animals) is a dangerous thing

[@susanhardie5440]

So beautiful that you caught this on film. Thank you. It was amazing 👏

[@robertmccreary8814]

Amazing how penguins work as a team to keep each others warm and their nestlings all through the winter storm also males can go without food for a few months to care for their nestlings I enjoyed watching this short video worth every minute Mahalo BBC Earth 🐧🐧🐧

[@raintree3383]

You have to watch the film/movie March of the Penguins...you will thank me for it....shows every step of the father and mother penguin....AMAZING footage

[@mariebourgot4949]

Mothers penguins do the same, they take turn for each task that need to be done.

It’s ok little one your mommy’s here(1:09)

[@carlac.8316]

Brought tears to my eyes, thank you.

[@ginneyfet1232]

Omg the beginning of the video had me in tears watching the poor baby stumbling in the snow. I jumped high to the sky when he finally found his mom, that was so gut-wrenching but beautiful.

[@freszeasy]

This too dramatic seeing the struggle over lone father make my heartsick but any story about penguins colony's never cease amaze me. I love emperor penguin so much

[@KanalDerGutenSache]

This was such a rollercoaster of emotions.

[@poojachauhan6378]

THANK GOD THE ENDING WAS HAPPY... for both the little Chick and the father...

[@user-jb9qz2lo4v]

I cried, I don’t know how I would have lived through it if the chick hadn’t found his mom

[@californiageisha197]

[@darkneon5637]

Oh thank God :)

[@wishtrish]

It was so soothing when the baby found her mommy at last..🥺

[@The_Greatful_Seeker]

I admire their unity. They are amazing creature.

[@-saffie-4977]

My god, I can't ever work for anything like this. I'd be bawling my heart out and struggling to not help them. It must be so hard for the crew, who are without a doubt passionate for these animals more than anyone, to keep themselves away and let the animals survive on their own.

[@aflamrecab1]

There's always a golden rule:Never interfere with Penguins

[@serapmehmet3346]

That made me cry...so glad for the baby..how hard life is as any bird really ..very touching indeed

[@Thehoomaxvi]

This is the most beautiful yet heartbreaking thing I've seen in my life

[@southlondon86]

This is such incredible footage! And much better than most movies being released today, no joke.

[@komalkimkevin2724]

I'm spending NYE rooting for a baby penguin

[@sandyla3668]

I swear i just wanted to give that baby a hug😭 what a harsh world even for animals

[@definitelydorothy5]

This just brought me to tears, but glad the chick was reunited with its mom. And dad was reunited with its family and colony.

[@risaandjesus]

I’m impressed by the intelligence of these adorable and cute animals

[@potato6216]

If I was among the filming crew members, i'd be adopting cold penguins right and left.

[@Fishcentral]

I find this hard to watch, it makes me wanna go help all the other baby penguins find their moms

[@AM2K2]

can you help me find my daddy? he went out for milk 20 years ago

[@maggyaly85]

You are absolutely right

[@dhallycruz7335]

They are so clever and lovable.
