[BeezOne]

I guess curiosity core finally found it's career of a life-time.

[jedder]

I just LOVE how instead of being scared, they're just like, "Wut?"

[DanielRenardAnimation]

And so, a new religion was formed amongst the Spheniscidae. The sphere knows all and sees all!

[McHeisenburger]

Y’all couldn’t have thought of something less suspicious?

[JanusHoW]

Considering the emperor penguins' lives consist of hunting, raising chicks and huddling together, this is probably the most interesting thing to ever happen to them.

Maybe they think it's a big egg that needs to be protected lel

After a mere hour, the two penguins divided into teams and started kicking it about while singing loudly.

james - " eh wtf is that?"
bill - "no idea"
donovan - "LETS FOLLOW IT!"

[fidgetelftree]

Scientists confusing and messing with animals through robots is my favorite thing to watch.

When penguins tell the story of the rolling camera, it might start something like this: "We called it the Traveler, and its arrival changed us forever."

[LifeLikeSage]

I love this new wave of naturalists trolling wildlife with robotics.

[selindikec]

-Hey George, what do u think about this strange thing?
+I have no idea man..
-Stephan?
× I have no idea!
-So let's just follow him!

[animelovergurlopzv]

Penguins: Hey! Some penguin lost their egg! Anyone know who’s it is? Hey, ur eggs rolling away!

[LemonyCain]

See how the camera blends seamlessly into the environment

[Yuki_Suoh]

Penguin Leader: LETS FOLLOW THIS BALL THING! IT WILL LEAD US TO SOMETHING!
Penguins: Let's! *everypenguin follows*
Baby Pen: Mom what is that?
Penguin Mom: I don't know son and I don't wanna know.

[drawi.krtion]

It's like "That's a huge egg!!!"

[HsingG]
