Magellanic Penguin, Parque Interjurisdiccional Marino Costero Patagoina Austral, Chubut, Patagonia, Argentian
Eye contact

Species: Magellanic Penguin | Location: Parque Interjurisdiccional Marino Costero Patagoina Austral, Chubut, Patagonia, Argentian

I was surveying the nests of Magellanic Penguins in the Parque Interjurisdiccional Marino Costero Patagoina Austral to see how many eggs they had each day for a week. This penguin was staring at me when I was approaching his nest without any fear. Usually when they are stressed, they will keep swinging their heads left an right.
