There is a husband, a wife, and a homewrecker. And fair warning, the story doesn't end well.

Penguins are adored for their cutesy figures and their awesome portrayal in the movies like Madagascar franchise and Happy Feet or the stop-action series Pingu.
But this time around, the fluff-balls-with-no-wings became the subject of Twitter frenzy when a video tweeted by National Geographic went viral. The video was retweeted 205,285 times and was liked by 246,376 users at the time of writing this article.
Captioned "A fight breaks out when a husband comes home and finds his wife with another penguin," the video shows penguins struggle to get his mate back from the other penguin she chose to breed with when he was out fishing.
Two male penguins bloodied each other in an attempt to gauge the eyes of their opponent. And after two brutal bouts, "husband" penguin was dumped by "wife" penguin who deems him a "loser."

Twitterverse was filled with mixed reactions after watching the video titled: "Animal Fight Night: Homewrecking Penguin."
Twitter user @Chydee didn't understand why the story didn't have a fairytale ending. They posted,
I really am heartbroken for this guy. He did all the things fairy tales ask you to do, but still lost.

Followed by another tweet,
The one that pained me pass is that he fought for her a second time, and she still chose the other guy. What is this life really? pic.twitter.com/PLdCMuGx2d

For user @YuleD, the happy memories of movie 'Happy Feet' were shattered, "Happy Feet was lie."

and users like @Egbengijima had a solution ready: "I know a Seal, all he needs is five fish. He'll make it clean. no trace, no evidence."

Some wanted the logical answers. For example, @Bitxina posted, "Do penguins have courts to fight over custody & visitation rights?! We need answers."
WELL WHAT HAPPENED NEXT @NatGeoChannel? DID HE FIND A NEW PENGUIN WHO TREATED HIM RIGHT?? https://t.co/tT99MrGMbs

And some took a life lesson out of it,
After I saw that video, i can say this for sure: I will never, ever, ever cheat on a penguin.

The video ends with the narrator reminding us and the loser penguin that there are plenty of fishes in the see. Tu Nahi To Koi Aur Sahi, Koi Aur Nahi to Phir Koi Aur Sahi!
