Is it just me or is it true that the baby penguins are so CUTE that I screamed when I watch it at home.
They are honestly one of the CUTEST creatures I have even seen!
It's mind boggling!
Apparently, human beings should probably have never or not much contact with Emperor penguin chicks, so I don't think it is in our intincts (DNA) to think that these babies are cute (maybe good for dinner).
It is so weird!
CUTE ;) Cute:) CUTE!!!!!!!

I have this movie on DVD and I think the baby penguins are so adorable! I love the part where they are just being born, and when they are learning to walk. It's so cute to watch!
Let's get dangerous!
They are very adorable!

I WANT ONE WHEN I TURN 16!!!!
And then they grow up to be penguins...
I am one of those people who do not do cute. HOWEVER, I howled at those baby penguins. Seriously the one of the cutest things I've ever seen. I YELLED for my husband and he came running to see what was wrong. He wasnt too thrilled to see that he had been called by a blood curdling scream to see a bunch of penguins. But he still thought they were pretty cute :)

"It's funny you say that because I find emperor chicks a hundred times cuter than a human baby. Yeah that is pretty unnatural. I wonder if there are certain animals feeling the same."

i should just point out that it IS natural for humans to find penguin chicks (and most of baby animals as well) cute, because their bodily structures and behaviours remind us of our own babies - big eyes, large heads, short round faces (beaks), stout bodies, short limbs, staggered walk, and all sorts of other things that we unintentionally find cute.
cuteness of babies (specially noted on those animals that tend for their children) is an ancient survival weapon, evolved by natural selection to trigger nurturing responses on the adults, in order to save the baby's life.
and i agree, i've seen wayyyy too many human babies and none beats a penguin chick in the scale of cuteness! XD
perhaps i have a thing for animals that start walking soon after birth, for i love bird's chicks and horse's foals more than puppy dogs and human babies... :|
I can't help posting here after all this time.
the cutest documentary on emperor penguins (and chicks!) is this one, I recommend it on Blu-Ray:

There are also other penguins featured in this, check out the rockhoppers! Not so cute chicks but the adults are hilarious!
