Emperor penguins look so big when you see documentaries on them, but when it shows documentaries with humans in it, the emperor penguins are just small in comparison.
Could never be a wildlife photographer simply because i love animals too much. Would 100% pet everything that wouldn't snap into me like a Slim Jim... you know what? Nah, I'd pet some of them too. Surely theres some nice gators out there
Penguins, like many water birds (including ducks) have “heat exchangers” in their legs. Warm blood from the heart goes towards the feet, and is cooled by cold blood in the veins that is going back to the heart again. Effectively their feet run at a much lower body temperature than the rest of their bodies.
@@polarvideouk u understand that, while it looks like them should run out of any heat that way. Otherwise, having internal powerstation consuming a ton if charcoal per hour :)
Indeed it is. I shot it in 2006, when youtube was only just beginning, and posted it on my personal website for friends. It was only in 2013 that I decided to put it on RU-vid. It’s sufficiently old that it was shot on actual videotape.
This is extremely sad hats off to the people recording, but gave up, ripped out their shovel and help the penguins. It’s one thing to intervene too much it’s another to help.🎉😢😢
Incase people are wondering. I suspect that if they did pick it up and take it back to were it came from. Released the video. They would face heavy fines and legal action. Also, there is a code to not to interfere with nature if you are a person that studies wildlife.
I feel like someday I’m gonna have to create some kind of Musique Concréte piece that uses one those greeting calls they make when approaching people. Such a bizarre sound.
I don't really understand why photographers can't interact with the wild animals. Like if its a dangerous animal or interrupting predation or feeding i can understand, these things happen on the daily in the wild and it's gonna happen even when we're not there to see it, but people always say there are unintended consequences to interfering with wild life. What consequences could there be if he just pets the penguin or walk around with it? It's clearly curious about the photographer so whats wrong about petting it or guiding it back to its colony?
If the story were another, perhaps the two of you could have made perfect lifetime partners. Nothing compares to the ache of past life-changing possibilities.
Keep in mind the ecologists that are allowed to study these penguins and other wildlife are instructed to not directly touch any animals as to not ease the animals in to trusting humans too much (so they aren’t easily poached). Even if the penguin hopped on your lap you are not to pet it and just let it examine you.
