Penguins are our friends...

Emperor penguins check out the humans... I'm no BBC cameraman but took a few minutes from my 2am photoshoot to capture this short video of the colony. As you can see, the Emperors are very curious & friendly... Enjoy.

I love how we never stop and consider just how weird penguins are as animals and especially birds. The first person to see one must've been so confused.

[@TJCoolzD]

oh trust me, as much as I love and adore penguins, they're one of the strangest things I've ever seen. that and kangaroos. but for some reason to me, I can't fathom how dragons make more sense as an animal than penguins and kangaroos.

[@lambsauce8937]

how are they weird they're just big birds

[@CHRB-nn6qp]

@lambsauce8937 Compared to other flightless birds they are weird. All other flightless birds retain long legs and necks, making them look like therapod dinosaurs. Penguins have the complete opposite, having short legs and necks while also having an upright posture unique to them, much more similar to humans than birds.

[@Mere-Lachaiselongue]

@@TJCoolzD Comparable to insects I'd say that penguins and kangaroos aren't *that* weird.

[@obsidironpumicia4074]

[@WhiteManOnCampus]

I wouldn't be surprised if they are lost in thought. Some penguins have managed to figure out how camera lenses work, and there's the emperor in Japan who adopted a family, knows the route to the fish store, and understands the routine of buying fish for the family. They're incredibly intelligent, graceful and gentle creatures.

I think you are kinda delusional about the whole Israel Palestine conflict, why do you think anyone who criticizes Israel is anti Semitic even when the explicitly say they dislike the country and have nothing against the people there? This is like calling someone racist for hating china, I personally hate China’s government because they fuck over north Korean refugees and censor and enslave their own people but that doesn’t mean I hate the Chinese. Does this example help to clarify that people are against the Israeli government specifically as apposed to its population?

[@rafihaq9321]

If someone is coming upstairs, I can tell who is coming up just by the sound of the footsteps. This example works the same when Penguins are looking for their chicks or when they're finding their mate. Sure to us they emit the same sounds but to the penguins every sound is differently unique that only their mate or chick can recognise.

[@Duvmasta]

Pedro Poyares pups? Don’t you mean chicks?

[@aceclop]

Pedro Poyt "they all look the same" that's racist as hell

[@Goddesswolf]

They know each other by scent, or sometimes specific calls. Like Dolphins how they actually have “names”, very specific clicks, chirps and whistles for each individual.

[@drosera88]

I like how ridiculous the babies look when they fall asleep standing up. Their head is just hanging upside down and their neck is twisted up, but they're totally comfortable in that position somehow.

[@redwolftrash]

[@dragonempress8367]

That's because if you see penguin bones, the neck is longer than the body. Still weird

Most bird necks are way longer than other animals but that can be their downfall, more neck vertebrae that's at risk to being damaged and if you got hollow bones ur extra toast

@@terriseaton3049 They also talk about fishing, and about how much they hate orcas and leopard seals.

[@alwinjaison4232]

They’re probably talking about how they could somehow master crafting tools and weapons to the point of making giant mechs equipped with bombs the size of a football/soccer ball (depending on where you come from) with the explosive capacity of hydrogen bombs so then they could annihilate the human race and become the dominant animal of all of earth. Then they will colonise planets of the solar system and then beyond that to establish dominance in the galaxy and beyond and then they would thereby establish the intergalactic empire of Penguin Antarctica.
