A person can go to the beach where some Gentoo Penguins go to get in the ocean. I was wearing a black baseball cap and black jacket and this penguin followed me, probably thinking I was the biggest penguin he ever saw. š§
Note: this was one of the chicks that was molting. They canāt go into the ocean until their new feathers come in because they arenāt waterproof until their plumage is grown in. If they try to swim in cold ocean they could get hypothermia if they are not waterproof.
Macaques steal babies to show to other macaques for social clout. Badgers and foxes will sometimes share burrows and occasionally try to eat each others offspring. Lesbian albatrosses take turns pushing the other femaleās egg out of the nest each year. Animals are weird bastards
and there was me just enjoying a cute penguin - thanks for putting me straight and making sure I stopped doing that
For a moment there I was happy, but you sure put me right on that one - thanks for being smarter than the rest of us, and stepping in the way ya did, there
Keep up the good work, and Iāll be looking out for you whenever anyone mentions the Beatles, Gandhi, Martin Luther King, etc etc
No, itās the Falkland Islands. They held a referendum and virtually 100% of the inhabitants voted in favour of remaining a UK overseas territory.
The British claim to sovereignty dates from 1690, when they made the first recorded landing on the islands,[1] and the United Kingdom has exercised de facto sovereignty over the archipelago almost continuously since 1833. Argentina has long disputed this claim, having been in control of the islands for a few years prior to 1833. The dispute escalated in 1982, when Argentina invaded the islands, precipitating the Falklands War.
Falkland Islanders overwhelmingly prefer to remain British. Following the British victory in the Falklands War, they were granted full British citizenship under the British Nationality (Falkland Islands) Act 1983.
Nope. They are Argentinas since the Independence (Ā uti possidetis jurisĀ ), and were Spanish before, for the Treaty of Madrid in 1670 and the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713.

I was wondering if this was a normal molt or not. Thanks for the explanation!
Thanks for that explanation, was thinking it was a weird brood patch.
Are you my mommy?
Got any games on your phone??
I mean how can ya not love penguinsā¦ beautiful creatures! š§
Yeah and all their rapeyness. So cute. 'Depraved' sex acts by penguins shocked polar explorer - BBC News
Waitāll you hear about approximately seven million other species that do this. Shaming animals for being animals is ridiculous.

They rape dead bodies?
Applying human values onto animals is so naive. You must really hate dolphins and ducks.
Humans are animals.
Don't forget that.
Oh such a great and poignant point youāve made. That changes EVERYTHING!!1!1!!
I find it really funny how rustled people have gotten for pointing out facts.
Me too! Like ducks and dolphins! Crazy!
Yep.
May as well be wasps.Ā Bunch of assholes.

Ignorance is bliss.
No wonder you hide your profile. Guess what: itās super easy to read it anyway.
Ok?
Everyone should hide their profile. No reason for it to be public.
Lol so they're so dumb they were raping the dead female penguins from the previous year
Falk-yeah!
Penguin: āexcuse me sir, where in the āfalkā am I?ā
"What fawcking islands"..
āNo YOU donāt understand!ā
"there's falkland islands all over the place!"
Does that penguin speak with a British or Argentinian accent?
If I do say so myself, it would indubitably be chirped with a British Accent.
But letās not over-egg the pudding here. Do you fancy a cup of tea?
The penguin doesnt know about stolen land so he must speak Argentinian...
I love the way they waddle. I want to hug him/her š„²
Damn it man. Can't have nothing nice. Even the penguins have drug issues now.
Pretty awesome to see him half molted
Quick, give it a surf board!
always wanted to hug one of these sentient bowling pins.Ā
stunning š
āGot any change?ā
where did the damn ice cream go? or am I still on vacation???
Penguins are graceful figures in the snow, waddling along ā so adorable!
That's so cool! It's so curious and a little confused. But I don't think that's a gentoo - I think it's king.
whats a āpeguinā?
So perfect
Thats a weird chicken
It tasted good though.
I thought it was molting. How tall do these particular Penguins get?
2.5-3 feet
Call the zoo!!
Las Islas Malvinas
No, itās the Falkland Islands. They held a referendum and virtually 100% of the inhabitants voted in favour of remaining a UK overseas territory.
As did the Belgrano
These birds are going to evolve.
Eat me
...oh the Malvinas.
*Malvinas
Momentarily occupied by pirates
Completely false, and weak attempt at trolling.
Nope. They are Argentinas since the Independence (Ā uti possidetis jurisĀ ), and were Spanish before, for the Treaty of Madrid in 1670 and the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713.
That's before the 1833 invasion.
Don't defend pirates.
You mean malvinas right?
They mean Falklands. Those islands go by both names.
*Islas Malvinas
Many names for the same place
