Researchers in Antarctica
have observed—amid all the wonders and stark beauty found in and around penguin
colonies—a darker side. Among the
penguins waddling and slipping about are a few individuals who seem to suffer
from severe depression. Their depression
is often so deep, they wander off to what is certain death. For researchers and documentarians observing,
this is especially heartbreaking because they have agreed not to interfere with
the natural course of events, no matter how ugly.
Rather than attempting to
detail the plight of the depressed penguins in my own words, I am posting a
video.
