  • What macaroni penguins lack in size, they make up for in sass. Life in the Antarctic doesn’t come easy for these bright yellow-crowned bundles of attitude. In this episode, Bertie joins them in the freezing ocean to swim with the adults in crashing waves. Bertie also witnesses an incredibly rare predatory event that shows how these penguins must use all their boldness to survive.

    I watched a documentary on penguins in 3rd grade. It showed things like their chicks freezing to death and trying to steal chicks from other penguins. It shows how the male penguins bundle together in a massive group when strong blizzards come and they rotate being standing on the outside and the inside of the group. It also showed the females coming back. For 3rd grade, it was pretty graphic because it showed a chick dying. Ever since that documentary, penguins have been my favorite animal. It's only been 7 years since I watched that documentary, but I've stayed true to penguins being my favorite it all of those years.

  • @PaddySnuffles

    So I am not going to write as good a comment as my first one but still, so you know how normally they talk about a certain animal and their predators and your supposed to be rooting for the prey when they show them going up against the predators
    Yeah so I just went
    “WHO AM I ROOTING FOR?!?”
    Cause then I go
    “BEAT IT AGAINST THE ROCKS”
    “NO WAIT RUN LIL BIRDO”
    And then you hv the penguin who stood up to the seal and I went
    “FIGHT MEH BISH”
    And that’s a very inspirational penguin
    Also you said macaroni penguins and I thought of a bunch of lil noodle birds running around even though I know what they are and I’m just like “no they are not noodles”
    Anyways still like your documentary’s good job and have fun with what ever the heck you do
