Flying penguins or Miracles of Evolution is a BBC film trailer made in 2008 as an April Fools' Day hoax.
The releasing date of the Documentary, Monty Python's Terry Jones being the host and the film maker being called Prof Alid Loyas, all indicated that it was a JOKE.
Prof Alid Loyas was an anagram of "April Fools Day"... ;-)
I hate to state the obvious, but this video, of course, is NOT TRUE...It's certainly entertaining, but let's face it - there are some people who will believe this!
Just for the record: Penguins cannot fly and would never enjoy a vacation in the tropics - it's way too warm for their Antarctic-suited bodies.
Hey guys I need to state something, as inspiring as this is to all penguins in the world, penguins can not fly. There wings are not large enough to carry there fat bodies.Much less have enough energy to fly to over 500 miles to get to some jungle. Therefore penguins cannot and do not fly.
it is not physically possible for a penguin to fly. the penguin has to much heavy blubber and body fat to keep it warm in the arctic, not allowing the penguin to fly
How? I mean I know they got flippers that are actually wings, but if they can fly, probably not very far. Their flippers, wings, whatever, are meant to be used underwater...
OOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGGGG i am in love with penguins they are the most weird animal on the earth because they wadlle and penguins rock my socks llllloooollllzzzzz
I gather from your tone you think it's fake, I'll look into it, Noddy and Big Ears sent me the video drawn on the back of a post card, it's unlike them to make things up.
@sleep2much don't be mad to hear the facts old man...penguin can't fly, and they DON'T fly to the forest if they can!!! you're just a stupid old man... shut the fuck up
i thought it was real at first, but there was something fishy about because it was whatshisname from monty python presenting it. anything he did would probably have to be fake. adn the flying penguins look sort of wrong. sort of against nature
I saw this on the news and said it was true....it was only when I decided to look it up youtube did it dawn on me that it could be an april fool - but yeah they got me for a couple of hours there....and there was me thinking I got away with april 1st by staying in doors.
This is brilliant, Probably the best April Fool in a while. Is there any chance you could put this video on google video's please so it's available for download. Thank you.

Dear All,
I have some questions about psychology:
(1) Why do we love flying?
(2) Wy do we want to imagine that ocean animals can fly in the sky, especially children?
(3) Why do we like to imagine and to image aeroplanes as ocean animals? (eg. 747= whale & 787 = dolphin)
(4) Why do we want to build an aeroplane looking like a penguin in the ocean?
(5) Why do we enjoy to image sea animals are flying at sea?
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for your creative ideas and brainstorm!!! :)
