hi everyone

[irnixon]

After many seasons visiting large colonies of king penguins (several hundred thousand + chicks), I do believe I am correct on sexing the birds. :) This courtship ritual -- males following females until only one male is left -- is typical and when the male mounts the female you know you have your sexes right. Perhaps in the zoo the sex ratio and limited competition skews the behavior. Thanks for watching ...

Psh, Cocky animals, walking with their chests puffed out like they are all that....not too different from our own species...

[neurochris]

thats why they're called king penguins

The adult resembled a bit like the emperor Penguins! Except for the chick which has brown fur and the coloring is different.
