A Waddle of Baby Rockhopper Penguins Hilariously Lose Their Footing as They Learn How to Climb
In an adorable segment from the BBC Earth special Wild Patagonia, Santiago Cabrera narrates a hilarious scene in which a waddle of baby rockhopper penguins are doing their very best to climb up a cliff that stands between them and their families. While rockhoppers are quite adept at climbing, these chicks are evidently still learning how to use these skills as they hop up a few paces and then slide down a few paces more.
Rockhoppers are aptly named for their climbing abilities, but the lesser experienced must master this skill first.
