    I like this vid because the young penguins stick together and prevail. I’ve seen a number of vids like this where one adult is trying to protect a chich, and they always lose, because none of the other adults help. If the adults would work together, the skuas and the pestrals would go hungry a lot more often. Go Team Junior Penguin!!

      Right.. I feel sorry for not being there.. If were I would have killed this bloody Skua.. I cried to see the helplessness of these cute little wonders as if they are searching some help from others..They are so scared why this Skua suddenly came our way.. and i felt a lot of pain when this bloody skua bites them.. These cute little babies are so lovely and adorable i can't tolerate any harm to them.. Even i will kill those who scare them..

      Well, hypothetically if these chick's colony number was threatened, I'd throw rocks to that skua, it better go find some carcass or old sick penguins somewhere else.
      If we're talking about balancing nature.
      Good thing penguin numbers are always stable, so no intervention should be necessary.

    That was some intense teamwork, they kept their backs together so it couldn't get behind them, and their heads raised so it couldn't grab them by the scruff. They havea much easier time tucking their heads to jab at a predator than hitting something behind them!

      Some of it certainly is. A lot of penguins breed, so a lot of young ones die. Last year was very rough as the weather threw off their breeding patterns so a lot of chicks were born too late to be strong enough to live through the winter.

      I know i’m late, but Penguins’ beaks are pretty sharp. In fact, a Penguin biting you can be a pretty dangerous situation. Yes, the Skua could’ve gone in and plucked one up, but the other two Penguins would’ve hurt it pretty badly.
      Im not joking either. Penguins may look defenseless, but they can be dangerous, even chicks.
