Flying Penguins on the BBC
The BBC today announced that they will be screening remarkable footage of penguins flying as part of its new natural history series, Miracles of Evolution. When the weather turns chilly and they've had enough of all that snow and ice in Antarctica, these remarkable Adelie penguins take to the skies - watch the incredible scenes as they crash land into more tropical climes! See the video here. For those of you who aren't based in the UK you can read about it here, on the Telegraph's website (who also have video footage).
The programme is presented by ex-Monty Python star Terry Jones, who said: "We'd been watching the penguins and filming them for days, without a hint of what was to come". The footage is only available for viewing from 1 April for a few days...
UPDATE (8 APRIL) - you can now see the video on YouTube (and the spin-offs at the end) and also watch how it was made - very clever!
I would LOVE to see penguins in the wild... love your site...
