Feeding

    I assume the penguin being fed is a chick. Do adults also feed other adults in this way?

    That's actually a territorial dispute between two adults. No, penguin adults don't feed one another. We can tell a lot just from the date. It's November, the beginning of breeding season, so there are no chicks yet.

    Here's a photo showing what the chicks look like. 😃 Chinstraps with chicks.
