"Day twelve: We continue to observe these strange creatures with their distinctive colouration and strange gait. Why do they come to this inhospitable part of the world only to huddle in groups? What is the meaning of their strange vocalizations? As usual, we shall have to proceed carefully and limit our contact to avoid frightening them." - A. Penguin

Pcm979 lmaoo

Why shouldn't they? The humans came to their homearea, not the other way around.

right, we've checked out the hoomans, now lets have a look at their sled...

We are alien creatures for them...

The Penguins of Madagascar. Haha.

YES

🖖☮️

Good translate

They look so soft and fluffy, damn!!

Because they naturally are about as huggable as a biological organism can be

In Antarctica you hug or die...

You know their 3ft tall right? And that there used to be 6ft tall penguins??

I literally saw your comment on another penguin video. You and I have taste.

John Manzuki haha

John Manzuki underated lol

Yet, you concluded it to be a "he". How s€x!St do u wanna be?

Darkmatter90 These are not the scientists you are looking for

pengoo scientists

They are. From what I've seen in other videos that grating noise they make is an introduction.

@@Anonymous-zd1ow further proves my belief that they think we're some weird big penguins 😂

Because the only predators they have ever known live in the ocean. Land means safety, but no food.

@@scpy4346 what about seal and polar bear?

@@prideparade4580 Polar bears don't live in the antarctic. And seals are pretty slow on land.

They probably think we're related since we're the only other species to walk on two feet they've ever seen.

Same here I always thought they were tall animals until I started saw a video on here just a couple of years ago, I was already around 18. Mind was blown away for sure.

a 6ft tall penguin 💀

I was like 8 or something when I learned how tall Emperor Penguins really were. But before that, I thought they were 6 ft tall, especially from March Of The Penguins. Cameramen really like to trick people, that's for sure.

I think they're about a meter tall

Imperial Guard I agree, I feel like I’m the only one who finds these things cute, I mean everyone loves the chicks and I find those cute too but the adults to me are just as cute, if anything maybe a tiny tiny tiny bit more, so cute when they walk and also when they slide on their bellies, they’re just too cute.

Penguins are underrated

N when they talk!;;

Emperor penguins walk like wind-up toys.

You have achieved the (un)holy number of 69, you will now be rewarded with the saying of "Nice."

@@foxxojones4757 A man of culture, thank you

Ani Imastounian Nature is quite astounding. All of God’s creatures have their own beauty about them, as do His plants, His mountains, His skies with all there is to see. Just amazing.

So agree.

9 times outta 10 the type of humans who make it to Antarctica, they can trust them.

Rico: *Vomits*

Private: 😦

That's what you call a superiority complex, you know... the thing you have.

@@Realmfaker I also think they have that.

annaknowsu It's more like a greeting call

They were welcoming the ppl. They probably said hello cause they were curious about the ppl

I think it's a greeting...

Put your cameras away and enjoy this moment....gah

Yeah it's a mating call I looked it up

An Adélie penguin 😂

It's because they don't understand what we are. Their contact with us is minimal, as any human they see in those climates is certainly a researcher, who won't harm or intentionally scare them. All they know about humans is that we're an odd species that they find percular, while expecting us to not be harmful to them.

BloodstainedSinner Plus they also have no land based predators which may explain that behavior

Humans are not native to Antarctica, so when some show up, the penguins dont know what to make of us.

DeLEET Titan this is the only true answer, they act confident on land because nothing harms them there.

It really depends on experiences. 99% of the time when humans come in contact with penguins, the penguins will realize that the humans are not dangerous. Although most of them are careful of course.

Yeah...Sit down and shut up. 😂

They make those noises as a greeting to each other or when they're excited. I believe they have more of a communication than we realize. They have a unique call that's almost the equivalent of introducing themselves by name. When their chicks are born, they practice making the call to them and the chick makes his/her call to the parents. That way they can find each other in the colony.

It's a penguin greeting. I'm not %100 sure about this, but notice how after they do that stance and that sound, they usually make some sort of head movement, either shaking side to side or stretching their necks. They are expecting you to mimic the head movement as a greeting. They are probably very confused why these big penguins keep ignoring them after they keep saying "Hello!" over and over.

@@AureliusR if I ever get the opportunity to go there, I feel obligated to learn penguin greeting behavior and come up with my version of a penguin call to use as a greeting. I should be a courteous guest in their home 😂

Someone said that it's mating call (not under this video.) So I understand why they don't do it. They don't want to give false hopes.

I feel like I'd want to come up with some penguin type noise to use as my hello with them 😂

There is. It has only one commandment: be adorable.

The club penguin religion

Japanese loves penguin♡

Because japanese loves penguins. I Would wish the same with whales.
