Penguin (singular) vs. Killer Whales (plural)

Folks, if you need a break from reading about Obama and other related crap, check this out.

It is amazing, funny and a little hair-raising all at the same time!

I think it is one of the most remarkable nature videos I have ever seen, because it showed sheer animal athleticism, tenacity, endurance, most hilariously, inventiveness.

It showed beyond a doubt that animals have an understanding of their relation to us. Anyone who has owned a dog or cat knows that, but to see it in wild animals that have a one time encounter with these particular humans is completely remarkable.

Check out these links, each one is a little different. I put the wimp.com version at top, because seems like the rawest footage, the other one is to music and one is to German narration.

Is there any blood of Penguins getting eaten? If so I am not interested. He looks like a cute little bird there.

The penguin is smart enough to realize that something that is floating and not running from the whales, has got to be better than the options he is faced with! Cant blame him a bit!!

Can't blame him at all! But what blows my mind, is after being chased and hunted like that, after he was in the boat, he just frikking hops up on the side of this slippery, rubber human thing, and looks down at the whales like he is saying "Nyahh Nyahh Nyahh..." as they swim under the raft!!!!! He doesn't look the least bit scared!

If it were me, I would be in the middle of the raft saying "Start the frikking engines and get us out of here, you damned human morons! What the hell is the matter with you?"

Pet cat Ryska showed who's boss despite being outsized by several red foxes that came snooping around photographer Igor Shpilenok's ranger cabin in Russia's far eastern Kamchatka Peninsula. Her defiance helped win Shpilenok a Wildlife Photographer of the Year honor in London on October 22, 2009.

She soon earned respect from them--and from me--living up to her name, which means 'little lynx' in Russian, said Shpilenok, who took Ryska along for company during his five-month stay in the vast Kronotsky Nature Reserve.

Wow! Gutsy cat indeed. Cats are formidable predators and adversaries, but against a fox I wouldn’t bet on a cat.

They can be confused though
