[@michaelcartwright8570]

@@maxazzopardi7446 Um....LISTEN to the dialog from beginning to end, and note the sudden change of role at 00:43 with the nursing parent being labeled as "father." As it turns out, the seahorse kingdom is the only one where the roles are totally reversed in reproduction. It seems as though that the penguin world has a bit of a different way to nurse their young.

I love emperor penguins so much. They are too human-like and relatable in their behaviour and interactions.

[@dannymoise2308]

nah, they do a better job morally than many humans do

[@EGGWISHING]

@@dannymoise2308 Animals that can’t really comprehend the concepts of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ (from a moral stance) are less likely to commit morally reprehensible acts. And look at some of the more intelligent species who *do* understand: dolphins most ape species, and humans. Not exactly a good track record. At least, that’s what I think ^^

Know it's nature and the leopard seal has to eat but I was rooting for none of the penguins to be captured. I mean all that work gathering fish for your chick that's so far away then to end up being eaten and the chick will eventually starve or freeze to death because the father or whoever has the chick will get hungry and have no other choice but to leave the chick to go feed. It's sad and unpredictable but even the leopard seal might have pups somewhere or just a seal that's starving... Honestly can't really choose sides since both are just trying to survive... It's cruel but fascinating too

only 20% of chicks even make it to year one in their life. and of that amount only 10% successfully breed. so most of those chicks either starve/freeze to death or are eaten by giant petrols. reality check

I don't think there is, they can't really raise their youngs on the ice near water, because that ice is thin and can melt. So they need to raise them on the ice that is on actual land, but that means it's several kilometers away from the sea ^^'

[@zelly4914]

So this footage is heavily edited for dramatic effect (and they completely admit this and it's done on purpose, no wrong doing or anything). But some scenes are literally spliced and shopped together. So if you're like "Wow, how did they get that shot?!?!" it's that they didn't. The 2 seconds of a leopard seal sticking its head out of a hole? It's the same 2 seconds of footage EVERY time (both zoomed in and out), just cut into completely scenes of penguins slipping on ice.
