Close Encounters of the Emperor Penguin Kind

[@seraby7151]

looks more like the penguins are observing the humans

[@Pcm979]

"Day twelve: We continue to observe these strange creatures with their distinctive colouration and strange gait. Why do they come to this inhospitable part of the world only to huddle in groups? What is the meaning of their strange vocalizations? As usual, we shall have to proceed carefully and limit our contact to avoid frightening them." - A. Penguin

If you didn't understand those sounds and their bowing their heads, is basiclly them greeting each other, then greeting the humans.

Why do I want to hug them so badly

[@agustincressatti7291]

They look so soft and fluffy, damn!!

I love how they all take turns when communicating. Emperors seem to be the gentle giants of the penguin world. Its so sad how they are no longer able to thrive in their natural habitat because of us. I love these majestic creatures so much ♡

[@saagabragi6938]

Imagine the terror of the first person who ever saw penguins, these bizarre creatures emerging from the horizon and running at them making that demonic noise.

[@pompeymcc3531]

The bowing of the head and the cute noise is a mating call. These penguins are certainly not afraid. They are curious and want to make friends :))))

[@mochimoni1975]

They speak the ancient language... *_"DUBSTEP"_*

[@viewmodeimages]

Wow, the penguins are trying really hard to communicate with those tourists! Talking, using full body language. They are putting so much effort in!! And all the humans can say is ‘cutie bums’ 😄 The penguins were definitely the most intelligent ones in that encounter!!! ❤️

Imperial Guard I agree, I feel like I’m the only one who finds these things cute, I mean everyone loves the chicks and I find those cute too but the adults to me are just as cute, if anything maybe a tiny tiny tiny bit more, so cute when they walk and also when they slide on their bellies, they’re just too cute.

I never knew what the actual height of an emperor penguin was. As a kid the cameras were positioned lower than them so I could not tell if they were like the size of an adolescent human or not.

[@spacepopeXIV]

Same here I always thought they were tall animals until I started saw a video on here just a couple of years ago, I was already around 18. Mind was blown away for sure.

[@casth555]

a 6ft tall penguin 💀

[@brookelynrhodes1998]

I was like 8 or something when I learned how tall Emperor Penguins really were. But before that, I thought they were 6 ft tall, especially from March Of The Penguins. Cameramen really like to trick people, that's for sure.

[@Nobody-JustMe]

I think they're about a meter tall

"We have come from many miles to join your faith"

The giant awkward orange penguins didn't say hello and introduce themselves. The Emperor penguins were greeting you. I am genuinely jealous and hope one day I can go on one of those trips and have Emperor penguins greeting me. I will definitely greet them back.

When that penguin said æÆÆ if felt that

[@nocturnGER]

Why are penguins that docile towards humans? Is it like with dogs where they think of people as just weird looking penguins like themselves?

[@BloodstainedSinner]

It's because they don't understand what we are. Their contact with us is minimal, as any human they see in those climates is certainly a researcher, who won't harm or intentionally scare them. All they know about humans is that we're an odd species that they find percular, while expecting us to not be harmful to them.

[@titan133760]

BloodstainedSinner Plus they also have no land based predators which may explain that behavior

[@Piledriver86]

Humans are not native to Antarctica, so when some show up, the penguins dont know what to make of us.

[@ladyofthewinds8267]

DeLEET Titan this is the only true answer, they act confident on land because nothing harms them there.

[@starfox300]

It really depends on experiences. 99% of the time when humans come in contact with penguins, the penguins will realize that the humans are not dangerous. Although most of them are careful of course.

[@namelessnick9791]

@@XSemperIdem5 Ah I see, so they are greeting calls. Thanks! :)

[@marialuke2116]

What is this bowing head and throat revving sound gesture? Establishing territory? Defensiveness? The shaking head and clacking seems to be something too. The beak bobbing up and down might be... a warning? Not sure. :/

[@XSemperIdem5]

They make those noises as a greeting to each other or when they're excited. I believe they have more of a communication than we realize. They have a unique call that's almost the equivalent of introducing themselves by name. When their chicks are born, they practice making the call to them and the chick makes his/her call to the parents. That way they can find each other in the colony.

[@rollomaughfling380]

@Antarctica New Zealand: Just my unresearched observation, but my impression is that the more dominant, "showoffy" penguin sounds using a pitch interval of a major third, while the others are closer to minor-third, even major 2nd. I wonder if that's true?

[@AmericanRailfan-gb8oq]

[@BLEACHTwby22]

Very cute. Why are they bowing their head towards people(humans)?

[@AureliusR]

It's a penguin greeting. I'm not %100 sure about this, but notice how after they do that stance and that sound, they usually make some sort of head movement, either shaking side to side or stretching their necks. They are expecting you to mimic the head movement as a greeting. They are probably very confused why these big penguins keep ignoring them after they keep saying "Hello!" over and over.

[@XSemperIdem5]

@@AureliusR if I ever get the opportunity to go there, I feel obligated to learn penguin greeting behavior and come up with my version of a penguin call to use as a greeting. I should be a courteous guest in their home 😂
