Cute, cheeky & a robbing scoundrel to boot!! [video] :nono:

Oh, nature. Why won't you behave?

A "criminal" stone-stealing Adelie penguin has been captured on camera by a BBC film crew.
The team, filming for the documentary Frozen Planet, spent four months with the penguin colony on Ross Island, Antarctica.

The footage they captured shows a male penguin stealing stones from its neighbour's nest.
Males with the best nests are more likely to attract a mate, so, in a colony of half a million penguins, the best stones are highly prized.


ps. why can't we have subheadings for this subsection? An oversight?

There's definitely some room for some missionary work here. These penguins need some morals. Wonder what the penguins would make of some nuns waddling towards them.

Give it an ASBO. But it might be a problem getting the ankle tag to stay on. :ask:

Sounds almost as bad as a Kea:

A Kea has even been reported to have made off with a Scottish man's passport while he was visiting Fiordland National Park.[25]
