Today is Penguin Awareness Day, so please be aware that penguins are capable of projectile pooping, and can eject poo to distances twice their body lengths. Even better: scientists did a deep dive into the physical forces in penguin guts & rectums that make this awesome achievement possible 🐧🧪
Adorable penguins are champs at projectile pooping
"Rectum? Damn near killed 'im."
It seems like the plural should be "recta".
Glad it's not an elephant 😉
This is serious material for IGnobel 🏆
I want to know why weak pooping is an evolutionary maladaptation. And does it have anything to do with attracting a mate.I want to know why weak pooping is an evolutionary maladaptation. And does it have anything to do with attracting a mate.
“I’m volunteering at the penguin exhibit” “ Maintain eye contact with them”
A deep dive, you say? Sounds like a crappy endeavor.
One of my kids could do this as an infant. Absolute worst mom group brag
Really torn on whether or not to share this with my son… on the one hand, penguins are his fav and toilet humor is a 12 yo boy’s bread and butter. OTOH, I’ll have to hear about it (likely with accompanying sound effects) forever.
