Phalcoboenus Australis Pygoscelis Papua Photos
Gentoo penguin defends its dead chick (right), from the striated caracara (left) that has just killed it. The penguin continued to defend its lifeless chick for hours, in spite of the futility and inevitability of the final result. Striated caracaras eventually took possession of the dead chick and fed upon it.
