Rare Footage of Penguins 'Baitball' Hunting | Secrets of the Penguins | National Geographic WILD UK

Watch as these Galápagos penguins herd fish into a baitball, a hunting technique usually only seen in mammals like dolphins. Galápagos penguins are considered the rarest penguin species in the world, with just 2,000 individuals in the wild. Penguins may seem far from home in the tropics, however National Geographic Explorer Bertie Gregory spent time with these rare penguins to discover how they live and thrive in their warm, watery home.
