Scientists at France’s University of Strasbourg got in close with a colony of emperor penguins in Adelie Land, Antarctica using a four-wheel, remote-control rover dressed up as a fuzzy penguin chick. The researchers hit on the adorable disguise after the fully exposed rover drove the shy penguins away.
