Ever wondered if people could survive freezing temperatures the same way penguins do—by huddling together? In this fascinating video, we explore the science behind penguin huddles and whether humans could adopt the same technique to stay warm in extreme cold.

From Antarctic survival to outdoor adventures, we break down the similarities and key differences between human and penguin behavior when it comes to sharing body heat. Could this life-saving trick work for us too? Find out now!

00:00You would pack shoulder to shoulder in a giant circle,
00:03and the outer layer would face deadly cold winds,
00:06while the inner group would be warmed by body heat.
00:09But the layers of the circle would have to keep switching,
00:12slowly moving people from the outside into the center of the group.
00:15If a person spent too long on the outer layer,
00:18they would die from the cold,
00:20leaving the inside exposed to the wind.
00:22Now, penguins have layers of thick fat and feathers
00:25to keep them warm during this,
00:27but the human body isn't as good at keeping the cold out.
00:31So each person would need to constantly wiggle their feet
00:33and squeeze their calves to produce heat.
00:36Otherwise, everyone would freeze to death in hours.
