They waddle slowly on their short legs, and from time to time they roll on the ice on their bellies. It happens that, having raised its head to the noise of a flying helicopter or plane, the penguin simply falls over on its back, losing its balance.

That is why at almost all polar stations, both Russian and foreign, there is a position of penguin lifter. As the name suggests, these people watch over a colony of penguins and help them get up if they fall on their backs.
The work seems very simple, but it also has its own nuances. It is necessary to go out to save penguins in any weather, be it a snowstorm or 50-degree frost. However, there are also enough advantages. Penguins quickly get used to humans and soon begin to show tenderness towards them, becoming tame.

Except worthy wages The Center for the Protection and Study of Giant Pandas provides free housing and food for the worker. That's why foreigners who want to visit China are grasping at this vacancy like a straw.
