'AN ADELIE PENGUIN WITH A YOUNG ONE"
The Adpenguins are the most amusing creatures known to the Antarctic explorer.
They settle for the breeding season on the only available beaches fringing the
rock-bound and ice-covered South Polar continent. Their eggs are laid under the most
hazardous circumstances, for the skua-gull hovers above the "rookery" ready to pounce
down and fly off with the egg left unguarded for a second. The young penguin is
covered with chocolate covered down, which gradually becomes grey, and is finally
shed to give place to the peculiar short black and white tufts which form the penguin's
skin.'
