Robot Penguin Infiltrates Colony

Like the replicants on Blade Runner, it's hard to spot a fake Emperor Penguin. The task requires careful study by a specialist. But if you watch carefully, you'll notice that the second from the left in the group doesn't move like a normal penguin.

For the BBC nature program Penguin--Spy in the Huddle, zoologists and, presumably, invasion planners, planted 50 cameras among a colony of Emperor Penguins in Antarctica. Many of these cameras were disguised as penguins themselves, thus gathering information and sowing distrust within the justifiably paranoid penguin community.

uh.... indeed interesting; i agree with the comments on the other site: poor horse. However, aren't Amish not allowed to do the "new media" shizzle? either he can't be amish (linked blog post's title) or he couldn't have seen Tokyo Drift.. if the latter, the horse needs to get even more sympathy for the sick ideas of his owner...
Abusive comment hidden. (Show it anyway.)
Those who comment "Poor horsey" show their equine ignorance and have obviously never established a working relationship with a horse. Like any other intelligent and social animal they enjoy learning and participating in all sorts of activities. They are eager and able partners with humans. Well treated and maintained, horses enjoy the pursuit of a goal just as we do. Do yourselves a favor. Learn to handle a horse and find a new level of interspecies relationships. They are not pets, they are partners that are glad to hold up their end of the bargain.
