@VeteranIrish nothing to worry about - its a contraction of budgy smuggler. You just get fat blokes in speedos running around your house (model not to scale)

There are days when you need #Antarctica to just step up to the plate.
New Years Eve on Petermann Island, it delivered. Nothing like fresh snow, whale blow and fresh coffee to start the last day of the year.
Ukrainian scientists from the Vernadsky Research Base in Antarctica just released incredible underwater footage — filmed by a penguin.
Using a GPS tracker and a tiny camera safely attached to its back, they captured how these subantarctic penguins dive, hunt krill, release air from under their feathers for hydrodynamic gliding, and flap their wings underwater like birds in flight.
The video is totally real, with no speed-up. It also shows how penguins preen mid-swim — a behavior vital for insulation and speed.
This research, in partnership with Norway’s Polar Institute, helps validate GPS data and supports efforts to protect Antarctic marine ecosystems. 🐧🌊

🚨 new paper🚨 led by Stefan Schoombie using deep-learning to quantify krill 🦐 consumption in chinstrap penguins 🐧 from video, acceleration and depth data. Invaluable data and insights for ecosystem-based management policies! https://t.co/0oWx3uZJSc
