In this video we're going to meet some of our favorite clumsy feathered friends
7
and we're going to find out lots of amazing facts about these seriously chilled birds.

Their wings become flippers, and their streamlined bodies become just like torpedoes, so they can truly fly through the water.
15
like other birds penguins are also covered with feathers
16
but their feathers have evolved to form a very dense layer of insulation to keep them nice

and toasty just like a wetsuit

19
so warm by their feathers
20
and a layer of fatty blubber too the circulation in their feet is used to keep them from burning up

If they're too hot, they pump blood into their feet to cool down, and if they're too cold, they send just enough blood to their feet to stop them from freezing.

Clever, eh?
23

24
They love fish, but they also eat squid, crabs, and tiny little shrimps called krill, too.

When penguins are at sea, they can travel huge distances looking for food, but like Like all birds, they have to lay eggs to have babies, and they can't do that in the ocean.
26
All penguins breed in colonies called rookeries, and some of them can be massive and very stinky too.
27
Penguin poo is called guano, and there's no shortage of that around here.

30
food for their ridiculously cute chicks that's like traveling the length of the united kingdom just to pick up dinner
31
but nothing compares to the dedication of these emperor penguins
32
which breed in one of the most extreme places on earth
33
the antarctic ice shelf some will walk up to 75 miles from the open water just to find the colony

and and when they get tired of walking they toboggan on their bellies.

39
When the female eventually comes back, two months later, the male will not have eaten for 120 days and will have lost half of his body weight.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
