Accompanying the video, Ybarra humorously captioned: “When you’re too nervous to say excuse me and there is traffic on the penguin highway. Captured on the Antarctic Peninsula.” Explaining further, Ybarra wrote, “To clarify, this is not a penguin highway. The red flag actually marks a human trail that was created to keep us from nesting areas and actual penguin highways. However, penguins like the path of least resance when it comes to travel, so a few found their way to the human trail.” Also read: Indian-origin wildlife photographer captures rare, breathtaking moments with a tw Take a look at the video: Within just one day, the delightful clip amassed over 96 million views and garnered over a million likes, cementing its place as a viral sensation.
