    Video exclusive: First-ever images of the world's only flying penguins

    Exclusive by Mark Jefferies  1/04/2008

    Skimming just feet above the waves, a colony of rare penguins takes to the air - proving they can FLY.

    The incredible snap for a new BBC nature series, Miracles of Evolution, shows the birds zooming across the sea hunting for food.

    They launch themselves down steep icy slopes with an upward curve to get the momentum to take off.

    Then they flap their tiny wings to reach a steady cruising speed before eventually crashing back into the water.


    Film maker Prof Alid Loyas said: "We could hardly believe our eyes. It was amazing."

    "It's the perfect example of Darwin's theory of evolution working in reverse."

    The
    flying penguins - filmed at King George's Island, 1,200 kilometres
    south of the Falklands - are just part of the TV crew's astonishing
    discoveries.

    They also
    found a lizard that swallows itself to deter predators and a species of
    rapping frog that attracts mates by rubbing its hind legs together to
    make music.

  • Hi there.

    I saw you in my footprints and thought I would stop by and say hello.

  • Hugs - glad it tickled you.

  • yeah, and if you believe that, I have several acres of the moon to sell you, plus a tube that contains the NO TRESPASSING signs you'll need to put up to keep future explorers from trampling your moon garden.
