I found this kind of interesting. I never saw penguins flying before.
April fools?

Its a very well made video. They took images of swimming penguins and used this to make it look like they were flying. I think there actually is another breed of bird that looks very similar to a penguin, but has more feathery wings and can fly.

It is interesting to see what it would look like if they could fly.

It looks pretty good at first, then they start the flying to a tropical place and it loses credibility. Penguins in the jungle would die. They can overheat, I think.

The BBC is just too good at these, I say.

It's sad that when I saw the title of this topic I was all "Oooh, that's cool..." until my logical, understanding-science brain kicked in and was all "Wouldn't they have known that by now?"

Awww I wish they could fly, it was well cute... I nearly fell for it, until they went and spent winter in the tropical sun lol

Did anyone notice that man walked the same way as the penguins?

Man I gotta stop falling for April fools things, especially when it's a few days after April fools :P

But I love penguins, and I like how they can't fly!

The problem is they used David Attenborough, and he's way too trustworthy!
