BBC Crew Rescues Trapped Penguins

Never forget when this BBC wildlife crew broke their "no intervention" rule to save these trapped penguins Use Just About To And Them And Their

A BBC wildlife crew in red Antarctic gear digs a shallow ramp so penguins trapped in a snowy ditch can escape. The penguins climb out and return toward their colony, where adults and chicks gather. The joke is the dramatic framing of a wholesome wildlife rescue as an unforgettable rule-breaking intervention.

I know it's natural but it's bloody hard to watch. And then we are definitely going to dig a shallow ram that they will hopefully use. We're actually just about to leave but the first birds are definitely making their way out which is brilliant. So hopefully they'll just make their way back to the colony and them and their chicks will have a much better chance of survival because there's no chance that they're going to survive down there at all.
