some moments are bigger than rules
Penguins were trapped, some baby's were abandoned and passed away, humans decided to intervene and rescue the others
BBC film crew broke big ‘no interference’ rule after spotting problem while filming penguins
In the heart-wrenching scene, the crew can be seen battling over whether to help a group of penguins who would've otherwise died.
When it comes to its nature documentaries, there tends to be one main rule - don't interfere with the animals.
It's a cardinal rule for wildlife observers to not get involved with the course of nature.
However, a BBC film crew who were in Antarctica recording for David Attenborough's series Dynasties broke the rule when they spotted a group of penguins in trouble. Take a look at the 'wholesome' moment below:
In the programme, the penguins can be seen stuck in a ravine, some of them already having died.
The heartbreaking sight left the BBC camera crew in a bit of a predicament. Do they follow the rules and leave the penguins to die in the ravine or step in to lend a helping hand?
Much to the relief of viewers, the crew decided to try and save the birds, in what has been described by BBC Earth as an 'unprecedented move.'
The Dynasties crew took to the ravine and dug some steps which they hoped the penguins would then use to get out.
Thankfully, their plan worked, and the penguins waddled their way over and managed to escape.
