  • To survive frigid temperatures, emperor penguins all converge on the same central point and begin to form a huddle. As those on the outside take the brunt of the cold, those on the inside take tiny steps that move the huddle in waves. The pack continues to shift and rotate from the center, so no one is left permanently in the cold. "The Gathering Swarms" premieres Wednesday, May 21, 2014, at 8/7c on PBS.

      @edwardandeli Před 8 lety +60

      Truly Robyn So basically what you're saying is . . . they move. Because there's no other way to get to the edge unless they do, I'm presuming.
      And to my knowledge, "they and we" is correct grammar.

    • @trulyrobyn1505
      @trulyrobyn1505 Před 8 lety +23

      +edwardandeli You presume wrongly! :) If you're in the middle and everyone who is windward of u moves to your lee, you are on the edge without moving. That's what's happening here.
      No, it should be "between them and us". Prepositions take the object form of the preposition. (Doesn't "between they and we" sound weird to you? It should do. How about "Please go before I." or "She's looking at he."?)

    It's so beautiful too see animals at such harsh place. Imagine there was nothing than snow...

    When all others leave
    We remain
    When the sun vanishes
    We reamain
    Heed thy wisdom brothers
    Warm thy egg
    Make a huddle
    Share the cold
    Each must take his turn against the icy blast if we are to survive 😁🐧

    This is how I survived on Antartica, by huddling between the penguins, they save my life.
