Africa - Poking Penguins with a long stick since ????.
Didn't know that there were penguins on a island off Africa. Very interesting.
this is a very interesting story, poor penguins :( evil humans!
0:39 if you look close you will see that the sign says: voorbij hier dit punt ( dutch for ''beyond this point'' obviously)
@sagiras LOL
I love penguins.
They're delicious.
Wheres Molly?
Molly is peng...
@zyniker88 Nah, She's bang tidy ;D
@AnimeTV3 it used to be called the Jackass Penguin, but was renamed
aww, she had tears when she seen the dead penguin ._.
Penguins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And now a message from Socially Awkward Penguin:
DANCE
FEEL WERID AND STOP.
@SherbetStardust Lol'd, Yay for Brit Chav speech!
what happend to molly :(
This was so beautifully filmed
Where in the world is Molly?
I love penguins
This is so interesting! I've never heard of this breed of penguins - I guess I always assumed that penguins only live in Antarctica.
Happy Feet, Stephen King's "Misery" Alternative, "Floppy feet"
Mumble sort of tap danced
I'd imagine these penguins would be more into stepping
Rocketboom has quite a fascination over Africa
These statistics don't make the population grow..
@AnimeTV3 Yeah, what's wrong with that? :p
African accent is very special
@AnimeTV3 I know what you mean, but it is quite interesting for a continent to have only one type! In contrast, New Zealand has a number of penguin types: Little Penguins, Fiordland Penguins, Snares Island Penguins, Erect-crested Penguins, Rockhopper Penguins, Yellow-eyed Penguins
I like turtles!
Needs more penguins
Penguins FTW
2 people hate their lives.
@AnimeTV3 i dont get it..
@AnimeTV3 Why is that funny? I mean are there other kinds of penguins in africa?
penguins in africa?... what next?... polar bears in tokyo ? weird...
Cuuute
ahhhh man this is just sooo cool.
penguins are so cute!!
Silly Rocketboom, Penguins live in the snow.
the G8/G20 summit was in Toronto
Humans always goes to the extreme, and it has not been reached yet.
beautiful!
Mankind is not going to give a damn about eliminating life forms from the earth until mankinds life is in danger of elimination, for good
@AnimeTV3 There are "Antarctic Penguins" but those aren't the only penguins in Antarctica.
No Molly? *clicks on homepage button"
@chrisdelvalleisgreat Yes, indeed.
this is sad :( humans ruin everything.
@sagiras i am ^^
i think i'm in love <3
Chocolate Molly is no good...
Penguins rock!
Nice movie. Shows how humans (thats us) dont give a crap about animals, most of us dont.
penguins <3 love love love
if you want me to care about the penguins im gonna need more Molly
@AnimeTV3 nothing unusual or funny about that, 'african penguin' is name of the species
i didn't even know there are penguins in africa..
Linux!
@AnimeTV3 From Wiki: "Since several species of South American penguins produce the same sound, the African species has been renamed African Penguin, as it is the only penguin species that breeds in Africa."
"Save the X" is such a BS. 98% of all species that ever lived on Earth are exinct. Oh, and we didn't kill them all... It's called evolution, get over with.
can't you do one on unendangered animals, like pigeons, everyone likes pigeons
The time spent watching this video was probably one of the first times in a long while that I felt proud to be South African.
@marjan15 false, it's called natural selection. evolution is an outcome of natural selection.
penguins don't fucking belong in africa
@marjan15 yes it is evolution.. but what happens is that us humans speed up their extinction, thus altering the balance of the system
They must live in South Africa then.
@sagiras nice.
Excellent segment, I'm constantly so impressed with RocketBooms professionalism!
@AnimeTV3 unless you count zoos, ye
@marjan15 You mean natural selection?
i love south africa!
@marjan15 Yes, it is natural selection. If we don't cherish life, we won't survive long. So this is about our survival as a species as well.
I just realized: IRL UBUNTU :DDD
is this legit? lawl
@marjan15 u call gigantic meteors evolution? xD
and that sharks and tigers and whales are dying out, although they don't have any natural predators but humans, is also ... evolution yes?
think before writing is a good thing u know ... just sayin
wasnt it animal weed like 2 fucking weeks ago??? cut the shit rocketboom
wasnt it animal weed like 2 fucking weeks ago??? cut the shit rocketboom!
those were some ugly ass penguins.
@marjan15 so...in spite of the fact that humans overrun the planet at over six and a half billion people, and penguins, whales, lemurs, and a myriad of other species are endangered due to humans hunting said species...we don't have anything to do with either the endangerment or the saving of any of them? Wow, I've been so deluded all my life.
She's cute (:
This girl is such a badass.
Wonder how penguins taste
@gamehero77 lmao
It's too damn hot for a penguin to be just walkin' around here. I gotta send him back to the north pole where he belongs......
@nosmailliwydocbocaj south?
cute, girl and the flightless birds
they cheat, they're sometimes gay, man, they're just like real people!!
Ya know, if you convinced people that they were good to eat they would be farming them. Presto! problem solved!
Antartica seems that the snow is missing..
@thebeluga I agree completely.
F U HUMANS!!
Artsy. I liek.
NOOO! Save our Pingus!
great video
I love this video. Thank you!
@CENTENOMONTOYA That is South Africa, not Antarctica..
Penguins in Africa? ITS THE SIGN OF THE APOCALYPSE!!!11!!11oneone!!111!eleven
i realllyyy like this video :)
fuck watching this... molly's not in it.
this is beautifully done. thanks.
beautiful
This is a very good video. It's a good wakeup call to us about the dying species around us. We must act now.
Thanks for posting this, it was enlightening.
What About Turtles??
We Like Turtles
Dang. I could watch a whole documentary about this.
where is molly!
Humans aren't inherently monogamous creatures either, and that's okay in nature.
im srry 4 being childish but, did she say an environmental seed was planted in her??
dislike.. no molly, no thumbs up
At 0:53 thats a beautiful sunset!!!
f'n penguins man! f'n penguins!
she's a beautiful thing..
great video. I love Molly but these things are refreshing once in a while.
BREAKING NEWS: AFRICAN PENGUINS ARE IN AFRICA!!!
This was a beautiful video :)
I love penguins. ;)
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW SO CUTE
This was a great video :)
dont.... fucking..... care......
is that the whole colony?? LOL
Penguins are as cute as Mollies. I dream of a perfect world with a penguin for every girl, and a molly for every boy.
beautiful, video. Really and truly beautiful.
Beautiful. This is such a heartwarming and touching video. Great cinematography, wonderful story, just... Thank you.
Also, PENGUINS!!!!!!!
@vevenaneathna then.... dont... fucking... watch.... or... comment
Beautiful!
Wow.. 8 people are sick inside.
WTF are penguins doing in Africa?! No wonder they're going extinct! Didn't y'all see the childrens' movie "Frosty The Snowman"?! He melts in the sun! Penguins don't belong in Africa! That Madigascar movie is just a cartoon! Get the hell outta Africa, penguins! Learn a lesson from the other Africans and come to America where you can have a house, car, xbox, and hd tv like the rest of the Africans here... instead of running from lions. Africa = death, famine, disease, and vuvuzela! GTFO of Africa!
@frankylovesyall u tryin to be funny?
Love the video, hate all the where's molly comments.
Penguins have the unusual ability of being able to "fly" underwater.
@frankylovesyall lol TRUTH BE TOLD!!!
theres penguins in africa?
@frankylovesyall I have a lot to say on this matter, but because of the text limit and your apparent intelligence level, I will put it very simply:
You're fucking stupid. Go to school.
This video was very well done!
Well Done! A wonderful video. I'm very happy that their are people like this woman in the world who are taking responsibility for the preservation of other life forms. Thank you very much for sharing her work with us.
It's strange to know that affairs are not just a human thing.
@rickardo004 you fucking hipocrate, your a human too
I wonder if the male is caught cheating with a female, the mate tries to beat him with a golf club.
animal week rocks!
For just a second, at the beginning of the video, I thought she was talking about black people.
That was awesome, but where's my Molly?!
This is beautiful. I love it.
@rickardo004 shoot them penguins...cuz they be eating all the fish!
also, molly do cheats on her mates lol xD =P omg jk
@frankylovesyall are you trying to be funny? if not you are very, very sad.
Really great video. Well done and visually just awesome.
I sooo want one.
Huh ... Molly disguised as a penguin ?
@rickardo004 Humans are a part of nature.
@thebeluga not only is she a badass, she's pretty pretty =3
yeah, get rid of the darkie. i like the pretty blond girl better.
Very well done!
wow, this was great!
9 people don't want to share their sardines.
@t1mTV you're an idiot
wow. Really, really beautiful video, guys!
what a wonderful person
very well done. You guys should do videos like this once a week. Molly is great, but the message gets across better with emotion
What a motivating person, excellent video too.
11 people have no heart.
Is there any way we can help her help the African Penguins? <:(
This is a very good and informativ video loved it.
Great Video!
11 people have lost their loved one to Wild Packs of Penguins.
11 people have lost their loved ones to Wild Packs of Penguins.
I like turtles.
lets save the oceans FIRST ...makes sense to me.
11 people will be killed in their sleep tonight by The Penguin.
those penguins are badass
CUTEEEEEE
Had no idea
I want more animal weeks
Fucking penguins. How do they work?
:)
That girls is so gorgeous...
it feels strange that they are rich enough to care about penguins, instead of starving humans.
no molly :(
Babe. And great production values :)
Surprised by the quality of this series!! Really LOVED it!!
@j0m0r exactly what i was thinking. All the starving humans in Africa and the welfare of these birds is the concern? Nom Nom. time for some bbq. that is all.
what camera did you use?
@locustkllr of humans, there are soon seven billion. They are of no concern.
This is excellent! Good use of resources RB!
Keep up the excellent work!
If all the penguins die off where will learn how to make tuxedos!?!
Nigger
Molly, gtf back here.
its not out greed, its our leaders greed. we've just been forced into a destructive system
@TheTramsen excuse me what did you say?
@theorderoforange - We shot it on a Sony EX1 and Cannon 5D.
Mmmmmm... Penguin stew
I want a penguin
wait there are penguins in Africa?!?!?!?!!
@ipodxdude Great! At least it wasn't just me. Hey if I was in africa and saw a penguin I'd poke at it with a stick too, to make sure I wasn't seeing things
awwwwww :>
hell yeah Tux
This is so important! I love it.
Many Miniatures and I thank you yet again for another informative video about animals. This fits right in on my company's Facebook Page.
@Mobbymick
What kind of comment was that?
eh boring. I bet they taste good, though, like most birds.
It must be great to be an endangerd animal. All you have to do is eat and fuck, and you get all your stuff with outworking for it. Also, federal and international protection.
@moel13
......a "thing"? Last I checked, niggers were full human, not 3/5ths any more.
"we check our penguins by waiting for them to get into a hole then poking them with a stick"
This is one of the 'little' issues that everyone doesn't think about and it ~needs~ to be taken care of.
It's a way bigger issue than paying for the government to have a lovely holiday. We have to think about things like this more often. This and animal cruelty. But these little penguins might be extinct soon...
On a side note. I want a Penguin! ^^
I LIKE PENGUINS! :>D
this was pretty sad, all these rocketboom animal extinction video's shows you what's really happening, and most of us just choose not to see it, one species goes and it creates a chain reaction. its already happening, everyday thousands of children in africa are dying of thirst..it would only really concern us if we were living in it but it just doesnt. what is anyone to do, really!? i guess our time is up, and its our own fault.
There are turtles in Africa?
OH MY GOSH!!! Penguins are my favorite animals in the whole world. You have officially made my day Rocketboom. =D
@Lancer873 same here, it sucks how they might be gone. I want to beleive it's not true that they become extinct (That goes for all animals near extinction, not just penguins).
@kook333 There are turtles all over the world, same goes for snakes and lizards.
@t1mTV I'd just settle for getting rid of you, you brainless moron.
@rgallows uhh ya, clearly i have a brain. your mother will be raped.
@t1mTV Worst comeback. Ever.
@DefinitelyNotNoah uhh ya, ok. why don't you come back with a sandwich.
t1mTV Jellyfish have more brainpower than you.
@GmasterRED not meant to be taken in that way at all, my apologies. It was definately meant to be a compliment.
And I'm assuming your use of the n-word is ironic.
well that was really depressing :((((
sadly, even tho there are lots of groups out there and laws trying to help out, the big things that are destroying all of these animal species is never going to stop, cos things like loss of habitat, pollution, and hunting is all tied to consumption and making money, with the overpopulation of humans there will always be a constant demand of natural resources....it will never end until everything is used up.
and then it'll be like WALL-E..
excellent production values + excellent message
Huh, I didn't know there were penguins in Africa. Learn something new every day! ^_^
@tetrica
What is this, I don't even. So that's why people like Stalin and Mao and Pol Pot could do what they did, they tought like you. "Well, there's billions of them, no one will miss a few tens of millions".
@moel13
No problem. And yes I was being ironic, fyi.
@nomiSimple - "Production values"? What you see in this clip can (and probably was) be achieved with an off-the-shelf HD camcorder.
Touching piece.
Though I still don't think I'll give up on eating deep-fried African penguin. It's deeee-licious!
Oh. My. God. That was wonderful.
beautiful
I'm glad theres people in the world like you at your age. God bless you.
This is the best thing I've seen from Rocketboom in a long time. Wonderful.
penguins :)
Great documentary. My dream is to do that type of work with animals like she does. :)
@GmasterRED Yeah i figured. No need for the fyi. :)
@johnnytastetest ...F*ck you.
Fab vid ! / Etymology for the gaelic word ´penguin´ , pen= head +guin/gwen =head, thus a penguin is a critter with beautiful/colorful head !
@j0m0r the average youtube user is kindof stupid.
@GmasterRED That's not even relevant to this question. This is not about if it is right to kill people. This is about if it is right to protect the ecosystem by ensuring life goes on. Have you ever seen "Soylent green"? Nature is much more valuable than human life, for without it we all die.
great video. i have so much respect for this woman:)
Really nice film ;-)
I love penguins, i'll be really sad if they go extinct :(
That was really beautiful.
14 sardines did not like the video, good news I ate them!
Very good Video.
Where is Molly?
You know what this video needs? Takahata101.
PENGUINS!
I love penguins, always have been a favorite of mine. Sad when I saw the dead one :(
