It didn’t want to go with the flow.

Dramatic footage shows the moment a penguin nearly got separated from its family after an iceberg broke off the Antarctic coast. The “Ice Age”-evoking clip was originally filmed in 2017, but it is currently going viral on Twitter, amassing 3.1 million views since last week.

The epic ice capade reportedly occurred while US Coast Guard member Derik M. was on deployment in McMurdo Station in Antarctica in 2017, Newsflare reported. He had reportedly spotted a family of penguins traveling along an ice sheet, when suddenly a piece split off, separating one of the flightless birds from its family.

The accompanying 11-second bird’s-eye clip shows the frantic fish-eater running along the edge of the defecting floe, trying to return to the main mass, before the frozen flotsam whisks it out to sea. Thankfully, the footage ends with the unwilling passenger leaping across the chasm to safety, whereupon Happy Feet slides on its belly back to the flock.

The dramatic moment had social media users at the edge of their seats.

“This 11 second clip is more thrilling than all the fast and furious movies combined,” exclaimed one impressed gawker on Twitter.

“Bro I literally cheered so loud when the penguin made the leap over and slid to their homies,” wrote another.

Other fans lauded the bowling pin-shaped bird’s surprising athleticism on land, with one commenting, “flightless my ass this mf fly as hell.”

However, some skeptics felt that the penguin might not have been in as much peril as the clip suggested.

“It’s if you forget that penguins can swim perfectly,” scoffed one critic of the bird’s alleged lifesaving leap.

In a far scarier scenario last week, 34 Wisconsin ice fishermen had to be rescued after the frozen patch they were on separated from the shore of Lake Michigan.
