Photograph by @paulnicklen while #onassignment for @natgeo // Emperor Penguin standoff! With dozens of chicks surrounding these adults, two of them are most likely a mating pair. The third is most likely a rival adult. Sometimes it is confusing to understand this behavior. For them, I am sure that they feel quite certain in their actions. As I did not understand the behavior, I had to break it down into shapes and patterns. For me, the truly exciting part was how they released millions of micro-bubbles from their feathers underwater to accelerate in order to avoid leopard seal predation. Please follow me on @paulnicklen to see this very unique behavior. With @sea_legacy #emperorpenguin #happyfeet #bird #nature #wildlife
