Original: “Unbelievable thing to see”: Drone captures never-seen-before footage of penguin chicks plunging 50 feet into Antarctic Ocean
Drone footage has captured emperor penguin chicks leaping from an ice ledge some 50 feet into the Antarctic Ocean, behaviour researchers say has never been filmed before. The video, highlighted by BBC Wildlife Magazine, shows the young birds making their first dramatic plunge to sea, and commentators have called it an unbelievable thing to witness.
Why now: The footage documents penguin behaviour never recorded before, making it a striking natural-history moment.
