Memes, 🤖, and Freezing: FUN FACT: Fat penguins fall over more. It's true! Now, to be fair, king penguins have to chunk up in order to survive. Besides having to swim in freezing waters to catch their prey, king penguins also have to travel vast distances in order to get to their breeding colonies and get busy. Not only that, but they also fast while they’re breeding, so bulking up makes sense. But, you know, physics exists, and fat penguins have a heavier mass on their front, bringing their center of mass forward and making them way more prone to biffing it.
