Look up boulders beach in Cape Town, I was sitting on the beach with a girlfriens as were others and a line of penguins wanted to walk past us into the sea. The one in front took a step then ran to the back of the line, the next did the same and the next until finally one decided to go for it and waddled past us, the rest followed. They are scared but the group helps each other overcome the fear. Was one of the best memories I have now. I will never forget there smell or the closeness to us, and they chose to be close there was enough space for them to have got to the sea a few meters from us, but they got so close I could have reached out and touched them, but we sat dead still not making a sound. It was almost like they were daring each other to get closer.

We tend to forget how determined & tough the penguin species is ‘cuz they’re so cute & adorable. Their little bodies (& behaviors) ARE delightful. That said, this is merely another of their displays of survival. This is definitive bravery. Penguins (I feel) could adapt to any surroundings - dry deserts, the highest mountains, winds, slow breezes… whatever. Penguins are REALLY amazing (‘Course, I am a bit biased. I’ve followed/studied them for years as a fan AND a supporter)! Thanks, NG for all you’ve done to help them. Your efforts ARE appreciated! 👍🐧🙂

It is not "want" versus "not want". The ones that seemed cowardly were not prepared yet. And they knew it. This is not an Olympic dive, that had been studied, taught, trained, and perfected. This jump, or dive, is natural, instinctual. More like a baby standing up. From on fours to twos. It is necessary. But at the height of these cliffs, it would seem like training would be welcomed. Starting from 10 ft. then advancing to 50 ft. Humans are so lucky. And we DON'T HAVE TO do things like dive from 50 feet. If injured of course we now have medical assistance.

I cannot thank you enough for filming and sharing the video footage with us. Hope many more humans will become mindful of the environmental impact of their behaviors to help emperors survive beyond this century.

Simply amazing, I was looking at the first one leading the migration thinking “where does he think he’s heading, when does he know to stop?”

Terrified for them, I was prepared for a good cry. Wow! They made it! I have to day that first one made a perfect dive, some of his flapping buddies, not so much. But, still that's some incredible bravery for these big chicks. 💜🐧
