Viral video: Penguin waits patiently as couple moves aside in Antarctic, netizens say 'gentle-penguins'

A charming video from Antarctica has gone viral, showing a penguin waiting patiently for a couple to move aside on a snowy trail. The adorable moment has left viewers amazed by the bird’s polite behaviour.

In the video, the couple is seen enjoying the beautiful scenery, unaware that a penguin is standing quietly behind them. The penguin waits without making a fuss, and once the couple notices it, they quickly step aside to let it pass. The video was shared with the caption, “When you’re too nervous to say excuse me and there is traffic on the penguin highway.”

The post also included the question, “Who knew penguins were so polite?” Viewers loved the video and left funny comments. One said, “Of course they are. Why do you think they go around dressed so nice in their little tuxedos?” Another joked, “Bro is just an introvert.”

Some people criticised the couple for blocking the penguin’s path, but Ciera Ybarra, who shared the video, explained the situation. She said the red flags marking the trail are for humans, to keep them off the “Penguin Highway.” However, penguins sometimes choose these paths because they are easier to walk on. She also mentioned that the couple followed all the rules and moved as soon as they realised the penguin was behind them.

The video has brought a smile to many, showing just how thoughtful and patient these little creatures can be.
