"Red rover, red rover": Penguin games
While walking along the beach at Volunteer Point, Falkland Islands on a very windy day, I spotted two groups of king penguins appearing to be playing a team sport, complete with Magellanic penguins in their black and white stripes as referees, and two birds in the distance marking the goal posts.
