Tagging Adorable, Nasty Little Penguins | Best Job Ever

one of the most consistent comments that
I get is how adorable chinstrap penguins
are but every time you get near them the
very first thing that they do is
projectile poop they’re cantankerous
they tend to be very aggressive and just
eat the food out of each other
for seemingly no reason right now we’re
putting radio tags on the Penguins to
track when the Penguins go out to find
food and when they come back so if it’s
taking them a very long time it means
that conditions out there are not very
good and that type of information can
help set commercial fishing limits and
keep ecosystem healthy for all of these
animals
once we’re finished we’ll take them back
to their colony and they’ll be released
and totally free to go back to beating
their neighbors or pooping out things
but as much as I complain about them any
day that I am out working with penguins
is a really really wonderful day to be
able to make sure that they’re all
healthy
first he’ll pups are tiny but they are
ferocious in their own right
