A cute penguin just being a cute penguin

in #wildlife8 years ago

I just walking along Cuverville Island amongst the largest breeding colony of Gentoo penguins on the Antarctic peninsula admiring their adorable fledging stages.

This guy just would not stop staring at me whilst I kept snapping his photo. Another beautiful encounter with a cute little penguin in their natural world.


“It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living”

What a beautiful little creature.

Beautiful, I've always wanted to be close to one

Wat camera did u use to take that pic?
And how much do I need to visit that beach??

Penguins will always be one of the cutest animal I could ever see in this planet won't you agree?

hehehe he's so fluffy!

Around the world there are 17 to 19 penguin species, depending on whether two species of Eudyptula are also counted as species. Although all penguin species originally came from the southern hemisphere, but penguins are not only found in cold regions or in Antarctica alone.

There are three species of penguins living in the tropics. One of the species lives on the Galapagos Islands (Pinguin Galapagos) and usually crosses the equator for feeding.

hi friend for me your post is good, i am a steemian supporter i like beautiful. I will learn better from friends in steemit.

Is the little guy brown? Or is that a trick of the light? Terrific shot!

He kept staring at you? That itself sounded so cute. In the photograph he looks angry, cute nonetheless. <3
