Geoff's Gallery:   King Penguin (1/11)

SPHENISCIFORMES: Spheniscidae

Aptenodytes patagonicus  

King Penguins steal your heart. Their general demeanour is endearing and at Macquarie Island, they have no fear of humans and are in fact quite curious. We were told not to go closer than 5 metres to the wildlife but the penguins have not read the book.
