The “police” penguin starts going to the nest of subantarctic penguins and gutting its inhabitants. However, they defended their housing.

A chinstrap penguin was spotted near the Ukrainian Antarctic station Academician Vernadsky, who wanted to take the nest from the subantarctic penguin. The National Antarctic Science Center reported this on its Facebook page.

“A strict inspector came to Vernadsky – an Antarctic penguin He is called “policeman” because the black thin stripe on the chin of this bird resembles a strap on a constable’s helmet,” said the polar explorer.

Scientists said that the police penguin first appeared on the pier and “obviously discovered some disturbances in one of the nests of subantarctic penguins – these are the ones that live in thousands on our island.”

An unexpected guest started coming to this nest and gutting its inhabitants. The local couple actively meditated. This continued for several days, but eventually the penguins found mutual understanding, and the “police” moved to another part of the island.

“Of the three species of penguins that live in the Vernadsky area, the Antarctic ones are the most aggressive. For some time there were two of them on our island: maybe it was a couple looking for a nest decided they “squeeze” the nest from the subantarctic penguins but they defend their territory,” says biologist Svetozar Davidenko.

Polar explorers added that, for the most part, penguins live peacefully in Antarctica, because they have different ways of life and hunting techniques. However, sometimes conflicts between species occur.

It was previously reported that the first seal was born near the Akademik Vernadsky station.
