Gaggle of penguins chase reflected light shining into their enclosure - with their heads moving in unison
- last year
This amusing video shows a gaggle of penguins chasing a reflected light shining into their enclosure.
Roy Chowdhury, 18, was visiting the Tierpark Hagenbeck Zoo in Hamburg, Germany, when he captured the moment.
The trio of Antarctic birds can be seen following the reflected light along the wall of their enclosure after one zoo-goer decided to tease the animals.
The curious animals are seen running along the wall with their heads moving in unison.
Roy, a student from Sønderborg, Denmark, said: "We found it quite entertaining!
"We were also very surprised to see the fast reaction times and the high response of the penguins to sudden movements of the reflection.
"We did however know that we shouldn't interfere with their behaviour too much and therefore, we were reflecting the sunlight for around a minute."
