Heh!

 

This video reminds me of when I went to Sea World a couple of years ago for
a software training course. Afterwards, I took a break and went to SW for
R&R. One of the more enjoyable spectacles was watching a summer intern feed
the penguins in penguin habitat. She walked into the middle of the habitat
with two pails brimming full with fish. The penguins immediately knew the
routine and flocked around her. I was amazed at how they all patiently
waited for their daily ration. They were very polite; no pushing or shoving.
The intern sat down on a rock and started feeding very large fish head first
down the gullets of each penguin. Once they got their single fish, they
would waddle away. I remember the intern trying to feed one penguin with a
particularly large fish. Unfortunately as hard as the penguin tried the fish
going head-first down just couldn't get past the bird's crop. Eventually the
intern pulled the fish out of the penguin's crop and retrieved a slightly
smaller one. Success!

 

I bet that intern will remember that summer job for the rest of her life. 

 

Feeding penguins! What fun!

 

Thanks, Jed.
