P-P-P-PICK UP A PENGUIN! ADORABLE PENGUINS SNAPPED JUMPING OUT OF FREEZING WATER TO WARM UP By Hannah Stubbs and Emma Baker A colony of penguins were snapped jumping for joy on getting out of the freezing ocean in these incredible pictures. The group was fishing for food before leaping out onto the ice to get warm. Australian photographer and marine scientist Frederique Olivier captured the graceful animals at the Casey research station in Antarctica’s Windmill Islands. The chirpy birds can be seen pulling excited faces and flicking their tails behind them as they make it onto dry land. After jumping out of the water, the Adelie penguins throw their wings behind them and kick their feet to get a good landing. Frederique, 38, said: “You have to be incredibly patient to get the images of the right behavior in the right light. “And you also have to cope with the temperature and winds as I gets down to -30 in the Antarctic winter. “The penguins didn’t pay much attention to me – their mood varies and sometimes they are friendly but it is all about breeding and raising chicks in the colony. “They make you feel humble because they are incredibly adapted to the environment that they are in, whereas it is a challenge for us to survive. “It’s sometimes hard for them too so we have to be very careful not to disturb them.” ENDS
