00:00 But one challenge stops them in their tracks. A giant petrel.
00:11 They try to flee, but running isn't an emperor's strong point. A slip is all the petrel needs.
00:24 The chick is grabbed by his neck feathers, but the down just falls away.
00:36 They form a defensive circle and prepare to stand their ground.

01:14 Then, as if from nowhere, an Adélie, the feistiest penguin in the world.
