Description

I took this shot of these Rockhopper penguins with my mate Jimbo at Whipsnade Zoo, I was not sure if they were not talking to each other, or about to have a Duel at 10 paces!! .. This is the smallest yellow-crested, black-and-white penguin, reaching a length of 55cm. It has slate-grey upperparts and a straight, bright yellow eyebrow ending in long yellowish plumes projecting sideways behind a red eye. It breeds in colonies, from sea-level to cliff-tops, and sometimes inland. It feeds on krill, squid, octopus, fish, molluscs, plankton, cuttlefish and crustaceans.

I've seen this kind of thing before, the one has been out bar hopping with the boys, and came home late. Now his ol lady is really annoyed with him and not speaking. Great shot you got here!!!

Oh Danny, this gave me my first morning smile!! I at once saw a couple I know, they behave like this, and it can take quite a time before they come on speaking terms again. If they just know how funny and childish they look, just like these two. A fantastic shot!. Isn't it fun how much we can read in our own experiences in animals?
