Penguins vs. Pelicans | National Geographic

[Music]
imagine you had a favorite food like say
Wow and showpiece then let’s say you had
the opportunity to rock it through a
swarm of your favorite food just opening
your mouth and letting it leap in that’s
life from these playful Galapagos
penguins in the waters off the Galapagos
Islands the penguins drive the anchovy
swarm into a shoal of shallow water
bunching the throng even tighter making
the pickens
even easier of course every party needs
a pooper in this case the poopers are
pelicans who make like dive bombers to
get in on some of this feasting
[Music]
the pelicans water-filled pouches are
too heavy to lift and they’re too greedy
to let go and so in a classic case of
taking lemons and making lemonade the
Penguins
pick off anchovies from the beaks of
these pelicans sitting ducks in front of
them only when the pelicans back off on
their gluttony and let go of some of
their catch can they surface and enjoy
the bounty and their beaks leaving the
anchovy banquet down below once more to
these gleeful gluttons
