  Can you please elaborate on what is bullshit? You are answering to an answer refuting the OP post, we don’t even know if you’re refuting the answer or the post, and you did not provide any clue as to why it’s bullshit.

    The original post is nonsense. Penguins are incredibly inefficient at waddling around on land, but they are extremely efficient in the water. Much of their preferred locomotion on land is sliding on their belly in the snow which is more energy efficient than waddling. So the idea that their third most energy effecient form of locomotion is more effect than a human on land is pretty absurd.

    They are pretty cute…when they aren’t actively slapping or biting you.

    Much of their communication is vocal forms of communication with visual displays and violence mixed in. They will great their mates and chicks with vocalizing. For some species, they will display with their eyes and posture. If they need more communication with will bite and slap.

    I’ve no idea personally, but i do remember in that Morgan freeman doco about the penguins, they know each others call (and mate exclusively), so when there’s the huge mess of penguins everywhere they really can distinguish ‘which one is their partner’.

    And to us they all just look (and sound!) the same
