23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Wildlife
A Frozen Fat Emperor Penguin Chick
This image shows how harsh the condition is where emperor penguins live. But also shows that emperor penguins can survive at this extreme cold windy condition. Their feather and skin guard them. The parents had to work hard to get enough food to feed the chick well. This particular chick was really spoiled.
