A penguin has escaped a pod of hungry killer whales by leaping onto a boat full of tourists, in a situation eerily similar to one explored in porthole last year (CW 05 Aug 2020).
In a video posted by adventure travel blog Expert Vagabond, the orcas can be seeing pursuing the penguin, which managed to fling itself headfirst into a Zodiac full of spectators.
At first, the penguin hits the side of the boat, with onlookers fearing the worst for the flightless bird.
Luckily, with a little help from the cheering tourists on the boat, the penguin’s second attempt is successful, with the creature staving off its fate as a bigger animal’s lunch for another day.
The situation took place in Antarctica, in the Gerlache Strait, in a video that can be viewed by CLICKING HERE.
