Jan 27, 2015, 05:17 PM

Recently scientists have sent rovers looking like Emperor Penguins to infiltrate Emperor Penguin colonies. The rover approached 158 different emperor penguins and 28% reacted with alertness, 47% did not seem to react, and 25% were curious and went over and checked the rover out. With this technique they were able to infiltrate the creche (a Emperor Penguin colony) and have started to use this method on elephant seals.
