There are penguins and then there are penguins.  This particular penguin, a Gentoo Penguin Pygoscelis papua, is one heck of a brave (or foolhardy) penguin.  Watch as it literally jumps onto a sea lion seal, a sea lion seal that is none too happy about being used as a trampoline, I might add.  I know nothing else about this video, other than I found it through Equals 3, a great YouTube video review show done by Ray William Johnson.  Seriously though, this penguin deserves either a medal or a slap upside the head.  Either way, cool video!
