Among the many things we can give thanks for this Easter weekend, the splendor of nature ranks high. And what better guide than National Geographic, which devotes three consecutive hours to studying and celebrating the fascinating ways of penguins. Filmmaker Bertie Gregory spent two years shooting this dazzling and enchanting series, narrated by Blake Lively and executive produced by James Cameron, which depicts rarely seen behaviors including the sight of hundreds of emperor chicks base-jumping off a 50-foot Antarctica cliff, an event never before captured on camera. Penguin-philes can also marvel at a mama penguin fighting off a sea lion, cave-dwelling African penguins and resourceful Galapagos penguins stealing fish right out of pelicans’ beaks. Go, penguins!
