小企鹅都要学会成长
Like the emperors, the rockhopper adolescents

The petrel must accept defeat.
海燕必须愿赌服输

With a few pecks, he's unceremoniously dispatched back to the creche.
被啄了几下后，它狼狈不堪地回到小企鹅群中
Even though emperors live over 4,000 miles away,

they face the same penguin predator.

视频及简介

最新的间谍摄像机带给我们全新的视点，帮助我们重新观察这些不可思议的鸟类的行为和极端的生存策略，带我们发现作为一只企鹅的真正意义。紧随成功的北极熊纪录片《冰上侦查》，间谍摄像机在企鹅摄像机上又发展到了新的水平，一系列逼真的电子动物摄像机伪装成企鹅、幼企鹅和企鹅蛋。企鹅间谍来到冰封的南极大陆，来拍摄企鹅帝国。有些摄像机伪装成福克兰岛的跳岩企鹅、南美沙漠的汉波德企鹅的样子。
