[00:00:00]Did you know Antarctica's most extreme penguin can survive minus 40° C? Adélie penguins can survive temperatures colder than minus 40° C with icy winds stronger than hurricanes.

[00:00:23]Adélie penguins dive as deep as 180 m, 590 ft, searching for food beneath Antarctic ice. They launch themselves out of the water like tiny missiles to escape hungry leopard seals. Even though they are small, Adélie penguins travel thousands of kilometers across dangerous sea ice every year. Their poop is so massive in some colonies that it can actually be seen from space. Adélie penguins are extremely aggressive and will fiercely defend their nests from intruders.

These penguins can drink salty ocean water thanks to a special gland above their eyes that filters out salt. If you like the video, hit subscribe button and turn on notification bell.
