  1. Smart penguin! Just get the whales to flip the boat and he’ll be the fastest thing in the water, while all the tasty pink things will be flailing about, easy pickings, as he gets away!

  2. Exactly what I was thinking cj.

    After watching it a second time, I’m pretty sure these were some dumb tourists. Believe I wouldn’t be laughing if several tons of apex predator were looking for a way into or on my
    pontoon boat.

  3. Yeah, if a pack of wolves were chasing a rabbit and it jumped into my truck with me, I’d think that was just so damn funny and really cool.

    I wonder what the chances of survival are in freezing water without large things with teeth looking for a meal.

    Yeah, yeah, I’m glad the bird lived but damn that has got to be the biggest boat load of morons I have ever seen.

  4. cj and Mike, you are both so right. Wow, they really exist? Amazing wildlife video, but wouldn’t that boat kinda look like a Subway Meatball Special?

  5. If you fell into that water dressed like those people were, unless you were pulled out within 90 seconds, you have a better then 80% chance of dying from hypothermia. That water is probably just a degree or two above freezing and the air temperature is just about the same.

  6. I’m actually pretty curious about the music. It sounds like some really old skool hardcore. Does anybody happen to recognize the name of it?

  7. I wish penguins had some kind of self-defense beside “swimming away really fast”, which they don’t even swim that much faster, they’re just really agile compared to their huge enemies.

  8. If penguins had some kind of defense or could all swim faster, then there would just be fewer orca (because more of them would starve) and fewer seals (because the orcas would focus their attention on seals instead of wasting time trying to catch faster penguins). There’d be more penguins so there’d be fewer of whatever critters they eat.
    I’m just thankful that penguins are the way they are and have found their proper population balance in nature.

  9. I think the music is from The Prodigy, but not sure. If it’s them, it’s from the ‘Experience’ album or ‘Music for Jilted Generation’, not sure again. But I know I heard this song somewhere else, and I really think it’s The Prodigy…
