WOO-HOO!

All about that first jump that doesn’t quite come off (and the guy who jokes that now the orca is going to climb in).

I freaking love penguins so much good job buddy!

Not everyone appreciated it. But they were wrong, obviously.

Yeah let's all enjoy an animal scared for it's life

What? Mate we are so pleased he was able to be rescued, as I’m sure is everyone who watches this is, with the exception of maybe you!

And finally …

Which is the greater threat to the existence of 🐧🐧🐧- orcas or humans?

— Keith Fry 🌎 (@KeithFr5693) March 28, 2022

Broadly speaking, humans. But for that individual penguin on that day, it was that orca.

All it needs now is a Benedict Cumberbatch commentary.
