Interesting TV trailer

Has anyone else watched the BBC trailer about flying penguins today? I was so surprised when I read about it in the Telegraph. Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23qDl1aH9l4.

It's really convincing, only during the ending bit with the rainforest I realised these flying penguins don't actually exist

Re: Interesting TV trailer

The reason why they can't fly is their bones are solid which makes them too heavy for flight. It makes them great swimmers/divers. Birds have hollow bones.

Re: Interesting TV trailer

Now there's also a "Behind the Scenes" video, which shows how they produced the special effects. Entertaining to watch. Here it is:
