Gentoo Penguins (Pygoscelis papua) in a penguin highway in Antarctica. The traffic and the human-like behaviour in these highways is really amusing.

Penguins, with the exception of Emperor Penguins, cannot nest in ice - their eggs would freeze and die before hatching. Because of this, all the other species of Penguins, such as these Gentoo (Pygoscelis papua) establish their colonies in rocky outcrops, sometimes really far from the sea. The continuous comings and goings of thousands of penguins from the colony to the sea and back excavate these "Penguin Highways" in the ice.
