It's always feeding time
On Brown Bluff in the antarctic sound, a colony of adelie penguins and their chicks are on a quest to fatten up as the chicks lose their fur coats that protect them until their waterproof plumage grows in. they look like the most rag-tag group and have endless appetites. This particular chick was still some ways from being ready to go into the water so other than learning how to walk and climb would happily just eat all day long. the parents definitely have their work cut out for them.
