Penguin highway
An evening pause: Worth watching more than once, if only to escape the insanity of our time.
I can’t help wondering however why they all are walking on this route, and what is it they stop to look at to the right at one point? And why is one crawling on its belly?

The support of my readers through the years has given me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Four years ago, just before the 2020 election I wrote that Joe Biden's mental health was suspect. Only in this year has the propaganda mainstream media decided to recognize that basic fact.
Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Even today NASA and Congress refuse to recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.

Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.

“why they all are walking on this route,” because it’s the shortest route between the colony and the coast, they all walk the same path because they’ve flattened it so it’s easier walking.
“And why is one crawling on its belly?” Penguins often slide like that, more of a mystery as to why most are walking as the sliding probably expends less energy.
“and what is it they stop to look at to the right at one point?” Movement, but not a threat.
do penquins have any land based predators? If not, why have none evolved in Antarctica? There are no penquins in the Arctic. I assume that is because there are polar bears in the Arctic.
The penquin evolved to hunt in the sea, but then retreat to land to avoid predators. Why have no sea based predators evolved where they pursue the penquins on land? I guess irreducible complexity. :)
I’m a pretty lone advocate for moving the Polar Bears to the Antarctic. They’d have free chicken everyday. What the atheist Polar Bears don’t get, is that they have a polar Heaven on the other side of the planet. Allowing for fast food raids.
“. . . and what is it they stop to look at to the right at one point?”
Car accident.
Steve Richter asked:
“Why have no sea based predators evolved where they pursue the penquins on land?”
My guess is that there is no reason to. The food is jumping in the water already. The Universe does its thing with the least expenditure of energy. Why make the effort to go after prey, when the prey comes to you?
It looks to me as if the highway needs a passing lane. I did not expect to see tailgating penguins today.
The sliding guy has the highest IQ.
