EVER HAVE ONE OF THOSE DAYS. . .

. . .where life treats you as an hors d'œuvre?  Perhaps it was a week where you felt like you were at the bottom of the food chain?  Maybe a month where the hole you were digging felt it was getting deeper but your ladder shorter?  Be of good cheer, it will end, and there is a way out. . .Right now, I need to hear this myself, I still feel like the first two!!

PENGUIN ESCAPE KILLER WHALES

A cheeky penguin escaped the jaws of a chasing killer whale by jumping onto a boat of tourists.

 
 
For a couple of minutes the group had watched as the whale followed the penguin which kept jumping out out of the water in a bid to get away.

But then the cheeky penguin jumped onto the side of the small inflatable boat, much to the surprise of the passengers. (Biased humans, couldn't call him intelligent or smart or brilliant or fast thinking!!)
 
Once onboard he watched the killer whales from safety as one of the tourists said nervously "They know he is in the boat" maybe contemplating throwing him back in.  (Say it ain't so!!!)

But after a short wait the whales swam away and the penguin thought the waters were safe enough to get back in.

  1. Video was pretty amazing to say the least. I would almost think those in the boat were fortunate not to be capsized.

    But ya know, John, I've had days like that. Once ... Jan 1st 1972 to December 31st 1990 ... twas a long day.

  2. Amazing video footage !! The penguin probably thought : "Bugger you - you wanna watch me get hunted and eaten by these Orca, I'll show you what it feels like to be the prey !"

  5. Lol, that is great. The last 5.5 months I've had were like that and it's not ending. Good for that penguin, I would not have wanted to be in that boat though! One of those killer whales could've just plowed right into it.

  13. Rodent is going to be so popular now. . .
    "Vitamin B12 is a water soluble vitamin with a key role in the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system, and for the formation of blood. It is one of the eight B vitamins. It is normally involved in the metabolism of every cell of the body, especially affecting DNA synthesis and regulation, but also fatty acid synthesis and energy production."

  28. I think we are safe, good thing we are cute!!

    Frederick A. Cook, surgeon on the Belgica expedition ... :'It is rather difficult to describe its taste and appearance; we have absolutely no meat with which to compare it. The penguin, as an animal, seems to be made up of an equal proportion of a mammal, fish, and fowl. If it is possible to imagine a piece of beef, an odriferous codfish, and a canvas-back duck, roasted in a pot, with blood and cod-liver oil for sauce, the illustration will be complete.'
