Penguins on the Antarctica

It is interesting to see different species of penguins on the Antarctica.
Here you can see some of them:

I do not know their classification or names but I can tell you how special in their look.

General speaking, penguins stood like human and they “dress” like gentlemen in “tuxedos”, a white front with a black suit.











[1] One kind of penguins is black-headed leaving the eyes in the centres like beads on fur coats.
[2] Another kind of penguins looks as if they are wearing glasses or goggles. Interesting!
[3] Third kind of penguins has red beaks.

These penguins live in groups. Their territories are clear-cut because the grounds they live and walk about are usually dirty, smelly and reddish-brown. You and I know why the grounds look like these.

The adults are clean because they often go to the sea to find food and clean themselves up. The infants are different because they are not old enough and have not learned the skill of hunting fish or other sea food. They appear a little dirty in their thick fluffy furs.

The adults will feed their young ones with the food they find from the sea, but sometimes the sea birds are so cunning to snatch the food during the feeding.

We human man-beings sometimes try our best to look like penguins, especially in important functions like weddings.
