They film how a penguin escaped from a killer whale thanks to a boat

The incident occurred among icebergs in Antarctica’s Gerlache Strait, when a group of tourists navigating the area to spot killer whales video captured the unusual escape of the gentoo penguin (Pygoscelis Papua).

The footage was recorded by blogger Matt Karsten, who was on the edge of the nearby boat.

In the shoot, you can see how the penguin does little jumps until it jumps onto the boat to take refuge from the herd of orcas.

“It was like watching a National Geographic episode live (…) I imagine the penguin was very relieved to escape“Said Karsten The daily mail.

Eventually, the killer whales moved away as the small animal returned to the water and left the boat.
