    It's someone else's poop! Yuk!

    Hi! Don't worry - you will see a lot of this. It is another penguin's poop. When they eat krill (like shrimp) their poo is red. They poo whilst sitting on the nest. The poop comes out very fast and just hits other penguins. White streaks happen after eating fish.
