国王企鹅群体行动像液体中的分子，相互之间既吸引又排斥。根据由伍兹霍尔海洋学研究所（Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution，WHOI）的一项新的研究，这种运动模式有助于企鹅群体在保护自己免受捕食者侵害的同时距离保持较近。

To study the colonies' structures, scientists monitored the movement of colonies on Crozet and Kerguelen islands over two years using aerial photographs taken from a helicopter. Using radial distribution function, a mathematical relationship that describes how atoms are arranged in solid, liquid or gas forms, they found the connection between breeding king penguins and liquid molecules.

King Penguin Colonies Move Like Liquid Molecules

King Penguin Colonies Move Like LiquidMolecules

n a colony, king penguins behave like molecules in a 2-D liquid

I say, I say, I say: What's the difference between a king penguin and liquid?

Penguins go through the flow
