They flip, they flop, they fall, but they never fly — penguin fails really are the holy grail of the internet

Penguins are perhaps some of the strangest creatures in the wide and wonderful animal kingdom. They have wings, but they don’t fly; they have feet, but no legs; they give rocks to each other when they fall in love; and they live in Australia as well as Antarctica.

But beyond it all, they’re some of the cutest creatures in the world, and we can’t help but love them.

A few years ago, a YouTube video of epic penguin fails popped up on the internet, and we haven’t been able to forget about it. It’s hard to explain exactly what makes these guys so magical, but we’re loving it.
