An adult Adelie penguin feeds her chick a bundle of krill
Paulet Island, at the north end of the Antarctic Peninsula, is one of the largest Adelie penguin colonies in Antarctica. After catching and storing krill in its stomach, this adult Adelie penguin returned to the colony, reunited with its chick and regurgitated this krill bundle to help appease a voracious appetite.
