Celebrate World Penguin Day 2018 by re-watching Newsflare's favourite ever video of these aquatic, flightless birds: a penguin chick tripping over a rock on a beach in Antarctica.

The clumsy penguin falls flat on its face before picking itself up, shaking itself down and continuing its journey, apparently unfazed by the accident.

The video was captured by a tourist to the continent in 2014.

According to one recent online report, Antarctica is a mecca for penguin watchers and where large populations of adelies, gentoos, macaronis and chinstraps can all be seen on the continent.

World Penguin Day takes place today (April 25).

Commenting on World Penguin Day, World Wildlife Fund Polar Programme Manager Rod Downie said: “Penguins are the iconic species of the ice. The first time I saw emperor penguins in Antarctica, I was struck by their serene grace and intricate beauty. They are the giants of the penguin world. No other species is so perfectly adapted to survive the world’s harshest environment – Antarctica.

“However, these unique birds are threatened by climate change. Recently WWF supported scientists from the British Antarctic Survey to undertake the first British-led field studies on emperor penguins in almost 60 years. This will help to support the development of Marine Protected Areas in Antarctica. We urgently need to tackle climate change head-on by honouring the Paris climate agreement, reducing carbon emissions and embracing clean energy solutions.”
