Chicks?

  • svavitas by svavitas

    I can't tell if most of these are chicks? I am guessing so, but I don't want to mark them incorrectly.

    Hi.

    All of them have already got the signs of maturity for that species: the yellow whiskers. Since all the penguins moult (both chicks and adults) at the same time, it's not easy to recognize the juvenile ones. It is safer to mark them as adults always when you cannot tell.

    Don't worry so much about your mistakes. Each image is classified by several users:)

    Thanks for your work!
