Just imagine with me...
Down at the South Pole, where Penguins and Polar Bears and Seals and other animals live.... (But we're be focussing only on Penguins this time round.)
One fine day, a humming sound broke the cold wintry silence, and out of a clear blue sky, a low-flying airplane suddenly appears.
The unusual humming sound attracted the attention of the bunch (group/shoal/school?) of Penguins that were hanging around on the ice block below. They all looked up, craning their non-existent necks and peering into the distance to see what it was that was making that noise.
They stared unwaveringly at the plane as it approached them, the small dot taking shape and becoming clearer against the sky blue background, craning their necks even more as it drew closer. As the plane flew overhead, the Penguins tilted their heads so far back they lost their balance and fell on their backs unto the icy slippery ice!
Ok, now the question is, how do the penguins get back unto their feet with the icy ground being so slippery, and with only stubby clumsy flippers to help them?

I think they roll themselves around till they find some kind of ice pillar and slowly edge themselves up.. like a leopard crawl. only done reversely.
