Transcript

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.

00:44 Despite their chick-like appearance, they are close to a meter tall.

00:52 Quite a size, even for a giant petrel. The chick towers to full height, protecting those behind.

01:03 His defiance buys time. It's a standoff.

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

01:26 He fearlessly puts himself between the chicks and the petrel.

01:34 Even petrels don't mess with Adélies.

01:40 That plucky rescuer accompanies the chicks to the sea.

01:52 Hmm. Fair.
