Penguins can jump up to a high shore up to 3 meters high, but if possible, choose “comfort”.
Penguins started swimming very quickly in the water to return to shore / UNIAN collage, screenshotsIn Antarctica, on the island of Galindes, where the Ukrainian Polar Station “Academician Vernadsky” is located, dozens of penguins suddenly returned, which earlier with all relatives went in search of food. This was reported at the National Antarctic Scientific Center, which also published a corresponding video of Zoe’s biologist Zoe.
“We show a video with penguins, although they left our Galindes Island in May and swam in search of open water and access to food. So keep” beauties “, dozens of which suddenly returned to shore so that Zoe’s biology does not go alone,” the statement said.
In the video you can see how a large number of penguins rush on the water like small torpedoes, and then quickly run ashore.
According to scientists, in general, penguins can jump to the high shore – up to 3 meters. However, for this they need to accelerate in the water beforehand, then change the angle of movement and “fly” into the air.
“Although, if possible, they still choose a gentle shore and use the same routes. This is the moment you can see on the record,” the center explained.
At the Galindez, where the Academic Vernadsky Station is located, they breed mainly subantarctic penguins. Last season there were 6 thousand of them. In the winter, these birds leave the island to return to the marriage season in the spring.
Galindes Island – What is knownAccording to UNIAN, the island of Galindes, where the Ukrainian Polar Station “Academic Vernadsky” is located, in May, thousands of penguins left it when winter was approaching Antarctic. That is why the penguins left galindhes.
According to scientists, nearly 6,000 subantarctic penguins lived on the island during Antarctic Spring and Summer: 4 thousand adults and 2 thousand children. The migration of these interesting birds is one of the warming confirmation in the Antarctic region. In particular, the subtarctic penguins – thermophilic, and until the mid -2000s were not breeded on Galindez. However, in 2006, they appeared on Galindez and began to master it.
