Lonely Penguin Separated From Pack Successfully Reconnects With Colony In What Could Be An Audition For Penguin Ninja Warrior (Pictures & Video)

It's not often we see a video of penguins that has us on the edge of our seat. Usually, we're sitting back and saying "Awww" or "How cute!". But not this one. This video shows the Bruce Willis or the Tom Cruise of penguins because this little guy is pulling out all the stunts. He's off, exploring on his own, being an adventurous little penguin, but then, something terrible happens.

The ice cracks all around him and threatens to separate him from his colony (did you know that a group of penguins can be called either a "colony" or a "waddle"?). The penguin Tom Cruise wastes no time, he immediately tries to find the closest place to make the jump (because we all know that penguins are known for their amazing jumping skills). At the very last second, in a nail-biting finish, he makes it to the end, where the ice is closest, and takes a leap of faith. We'll leave the rest for you to watch, but get your popcorn and get ready to be on the edge of your seat!

Oh no! The ice broke, will the penguin make it in time? We all know that penguins aren't known for being particularly fast…..or graceful for that matter. But we don't want him to be separated from his waddle! Run, penguin, runnnnn!!!

We know what you're thinking, "Well, penguins can swim, can't they?", and you're right. The can swim. But that ice looks pretty think, so it might be difficult to get out of the water on the other side. Also, predators live below the ice!
