Video of penguin waiting patiently affirms their politeness
Who knew penguins were this polite?
When you think about penguins, the first thing that comes to mind is their uncanny similarity to little men in tuxedos.
Other than that, they have become popularised as masterminds based on their characters in the 'Penguin of Madagascar', which began with the movie 'Madagascar'. The penguins here are sharp-witted, on the move, defy all stereotypes surrounding their natural capabilities, are entertaining, and still lead with the 'cute' factor.
Not to mention their other debuts in 'Flipper', 'Surf's Up', 'Deep Blue', and more.
Penguins have emerged as heroes on more than one occasion in pop culture, and we must admit, it suits them.
This time, penguins, or at least one penguin, have gone viral on social media for being polite and patient.
Tuxedos are a perfect representation of these birds. They are indeed well-mannered and respectable, just as we would expect someone in a tuxedo to be.
A video showing a penguin waiting patiently for a couple to move aside from a snowy path in the Antarctic Peninsula has gone viral. The penguin was the perfect gentle-penguin and displayed the right amount of manners when a couple stood in his path.
"The now-viral video, with over 141 million views so far, was shared by Ciera Ybarra on Instagram. It shows the tiny bird standing still on what is referred to as the “penguin highway,” seemingly too shy to interrupt the human traffic." (India Today)
