Smart Penguin Video

I was sent this video by e-mail. I have no idea where it originated, or who it belongs to, but I'm posting it, to share it with you. I am always very careful not to violate copyright, so if anyone knows the owner(s) or where I could track down the owner, so that I can confirm permission to keep it posted, I would appreciate it! But, since I'm reasonably sure that it's okay to post, here it is...

This appears to be real footage of a penguin being pursued by a pod of killer whales. Don't worry, it's not icky or horrifying or sad...I wouldn't post anything like that on a site by a smiling writer...but it is really something else, and it did keep me held in anticipation.

Hope you enjoy it...

Thank you! I love how it ends...would love to be that close for a few moments. What a great experience it would be!

i agree. that would be the thrill of a lifetime. i went to sanibel island last year and a mother and baby dolphin swam right up to the beach but not within touching distance. that, too, would have been awesome! what a privilege it is when we are fortunate enough to share our space with such wonderful creatures.

Wow, Thelma, seeing the dolphins that close would be so cool! Yes, it truly is a privilege to be able to have such experiences!
