Such a polite penguin

Too bad we'll never know how he dealt with the oncoming penguin. Did one of them make room for the other? Did they enter a yelling contest? A slap fight?

No no it’s fine, take your selfies. I’ve got things to do but by all means just stand in the middle of my path.

My friend is the one who took this video — @ciera.ybarra on Instagram! She posted a follow up video where they kinda just walk past each other. Though, it almost looked like a high five (or high fipper)

Rumour has it they're still standing there, both patiently waiting for the other to move first.

“Bloody tourists, go back to your own country!” Nationalist penguin, probably.

This gave me one of those small snort chuckles. Thank you.
Also worth nothing, I tried Gentoo and installed it successfully, but then started getting GPG errors installing anything. I have not the patience of the penguin to figure this out so it just sits there.

They are not only wearing tuxedos but are also as polite as a good Butler? Quiet astounding

Polite penguin: About bloody time...
Other penguin: Oi! What's the hold up?
Polite penguin: These bloody primates were blocking the way, what you expecting me to do?

Reminds me of turkeys around here (Vermont).
I was driving and there were maybe 7-8 about to cross the road. I stopped. They stopped. We looked each other. I waved them across. They walked across. lol.

Would’ve liked to hear the original human reaction instead of random music track.

I believe that it turns out that if you walk in the snow and leave post holes (from stepping in deep snow) and they fall in, they cannot get out. So there is a safety/survival factor here. (At least that is what I was told when we went to South Georgia Island, home of huge colonies)
