Brown penguins

    Arre the tall brown furr penguins adolescents or chicks, or a different kind of adult penguin? I marked them as adults because of their size.

    Hi @Nancy

    The brown guys are actually chicks of King penguins. They have a very long breeding cycle (over a year long!) so they can be as tall as their parents however still chicks. Please, mark them as adults unless they change their brown feathers for the mature grey and white ones.

    Thanks for you question!
