Who loves penguins?

The Falkland Islands have five main types of penguins (with a few others occasional visitors). They are everywhere! If you love penguins then its the place to go. The King penguins are the tallest and have fluffy teddy-bear brown chicks. The Gentoos have orange beaks and feet, like to hang out together, and are a bit skittish. The Magellanics have fleas and burrows underground. The Macaroni’s have orange crests that join at the brow and the Rockhoppers often hang out with albatrosses and jump from rock to rock. Here’s a few images to get you started.
