I'd rather they did a story on the airspeed of an unladen sparrow.

There’s a video with the story:

The last part shows the penguins “landing” with Toucans in the Amazon ... rather gracelessly ...

I think the take-off scene in the video was well done. I love how they hop along to build up speed. I wonder who put it together.

Funny you should ask.

I was at work today while FR was down and wanted to send the story to a friend. So I Googled “flying penguins” and found one of the original articles. The video said, “Viewable in the UK only” (how do they do that?) ...

But a second video 9also not viewable) was on how the film was made.

If you can’t find it let me know.

EVERYONE knows penguins can't fly...

Not everyone knows what good marksmans they are though.

No, I fling her.

lol

Once, as a kid, I flung back the cover of my bed unaware that my cat was sleeping on it. She also flew though the air. However there was no bucket of water for her to land in. She just crashed into the closet door.

Luckily cats are made out of rubber.
