Gentoo penguins, Antarctica
At first glance, all penguins might look similar but gentoo penguins are a species of penguin that are distinguished by the white feathers that rise from above their eyes and extend across the top of their heads. Nestled in the rocky landscapes of the Antarctic Peninsula and Antarctic islands, gentoo penguin hatchlings, born in pairs, witness an intricate tale of dedication from their parents. The father and mother raise them in a bonded, monogamous pair, bringing food back to the stony nest they have built together. After being fed and raised for 30 days, the chicks join a crèche or nursery for safety and to learn social behaviour.
