    I am unsure if some of these blobs are penguins hunkered down for a storm, don't they usually stnad up huddled together? Or is that just Emperor penguins?

    I was curious and tried to search some answer and have found that 'Some species are warm blooded so stay warm on their own others huddle to stay warm and others hide away in their "houses" or "dens" until it gets a little warmer.' So I'd say it is different from species to species. But a confirmation or correction from a scientist would be great. Anyway I think that 0°C is not very cold for them, isn't it?
