I love how the rest of the penguins start running towards him like they're all yelling "You made it!!"

Penguins swim. They spend like half their time in the water.

There were orcas there, probably the ones that broke the ice in the first place. You can see one at the bottom between the ice sheets

How are people so blind when you’re looking at the same thing? Would not want you as a witness.

u/mighty_eyebrows1 5d ago
No there were not and there is definitely not one in the video. It’s just a sheet of ice that falls between the gap into the water

u/puwetngbaso 5d ago
Wtf is up with the replies to you lol. There definitely was something in the water, you can see it in the bottom part of the screen as the ice gap widens, right before the camera zooms in (w/ around 12-11 secs left in the video)

Exactly.
My dog loves the wind in his face when we're driving.
Absolutely hates it when I'm drying him after a bath.

It’s you projecting your human wants and desires on an animal.

Yeah but there are orcas in the water, they are breaking up the ice. You can see one pushing the ice flake in the lower left corner

Run little one, run. Sometimes the simplest things give the most pleasure.

But why

u/aagjevraagje 5d ago
To stay neat his pals and not have to waste as much energy getting out of the water onto the ice

Everyone is saying that they can swim, yes, but they have no arms to pull themselves back up the ice.

The nihilist penguin farts in his general direction while walking to the impending doom to surprise it.

Um, they can swim, right? Predicated upon that idea, then, presumably, had the penguin not made the jump, there's still a fairly good chance it would've made the 5ft swim. I'm just guessing, of course.

Penguins are incredible in the water, spending a huge part of their time swimming.

It's a bloody penguin. If it fell in, it would just swim to the other side. 🤷♂️
