Penguin parents and their chicks

in #nature6 years ago

It isn't a bad way to start your weekend when you get a glimpse into that, which is the adorable world of Penguin parents watching over they newly hatched chicks. The newly hatched chicks will stay close to one of their parents for a few weeks before forming their own little group with other baby penguins, which is called a crèche.

They are so incredibly cute! I especially like the second shot :) Must so cool to be able to observe them.

Amazing work. How fortunate you are to have been able to photograph penguins like this.

I have been incredibly lucky to get to go to the places I have been

The pictures on your website are stunning! ! I have just enjoyed studying every single one of them! In every one you have captured the perfect moment!

Very nice! How close were you able to get to them?

Cheers! The IAATO guidelines state that we must remain 5m|15ft away from them at all times. They at times will approach you if they are curious and if you are very still and patient but it isn't something you can force

I'm a bit amazed you can even get that close, that's awesome though.

Good post, excellent photographs, the penguins are very charismatic, greetings @ thomasjmitchell

That they are! thanks for the support

@thomasjmitchell I think penguins are one of the cutest birds. I hear they spend half of their lives on land and the other half in the oceans.

They are pretty cute.
