WHY DID THE PENGUIN CROSS THE ROAD? CHEEKY BIRD ROAD RAGE
WITH PIX AND VID
By Shuk Yee Tsang
This is the moment a feisty penguin turned the tables on a passing car, chasing it down the road and even attempting to peck it.
The hilarious encounter was captured by wildlife photographer Zaheer Ali from Gauteng, South Africa, while driving through Cape Town.
In the clip, the determined penguin waddles across the road before suddenly taking an interest in the vehicle, marching straight towards it like it has something to say
At one point, it even appears to lunge forward to peck at the car, leaving the occupants both amused and slightly bewildered.
The bold behaviour quickly drew comparisons online to famous on-screen birds like Happy Feet and the mischievous crew from Madagascar.
Viewers dubbing it everything from a “gangster penguin” to a bird telling the cameraman to “get lost, paparazzi!”
Not every day a penguin tries to square up to a car.
Whether it was curiosity, confusion, or just attitude, one thing’s for sure, this penguin clearly wasn’t backing down.
Zaheer joked: “Only in Cape Town can you get chased by a penguin.”
