A Gentoo Flotilla

If you’re used to seeing penguins on land, their speed and grace in the water can surprise. Penguins are even capable of extra bursts of speed through supercavitation. They trap air beneath their feathers and then release it underwater when they need to move faster. Their coating of bubbles reduces their drag and gives them the extra speed to help escape predators like leopard seals. (Image credit: R. Barats/OPOTY; via Colossal)
