@thenatureeducator: How does dozing off for 4 seconds at a time all day long sound? Quite terrible? Well, chinstrap penguins thrive on 10,000 of these little naps every 24 hours adding up to a total of 11 hours of sleep per day! They microsleep like this to keep guard of their nests from predators and harsh Antarctic conditions. These penguins are named after the line of black feathers across their chins! They live in the coldest, driest, windiest, and highest continent on Earth: Antarctica! I witnessed these flightless birds napping, hopping, calling, and swimming while adventuring with @aurora expeditions in the Antarctic Peninsula! #AuroraPartner #AuroraExpeditions #Antarctica #Penguins #Penguin
