King Penguin Crèche
If you have children you will no doubt have experienced the heart
stopping moment when you realize the little one has wandered off and you
cannot see them anywhere. You might imagine, then, how the average King
Penguin parent might feel when they return to feed their chick. Yet it
is all part of the King Penguin's master plan for the survival of the
next generation.
In what has to be the biggest day care facility on this our ark in space, thousands upon thousands of king penguins
group their offspring together
in an attempt to stop them dying in the sub-zero temperatures of South
Georgia. They are also better protected from predators in this huge
gathering.
