Gentoo Penguin and Chicks
WILD & FREE
While one Gentoo Penguin Chick looks up to mum for some food, the other has a rest on the ground.
(Antarctic Peninsula)
Melting sea ice and overfishing have triggered a dangerously rapid decline in penguin populations on the Antarctic peninsula – a direct result of global warming, warns a new report from the WWF.
The gentoo, chinstrap and adélie – along with the emperor, the largest penguin species in the world – are now struggling to survive as melting sea ice reduces vital food sources, such as krill.
Gentoos are now listed as nearly endangered on the IUCN Red List.

It looks not dissimilar to a painting I started a few months ago – leastways in basic composition – one of these days I’ll have to finish that and upload it :)

Steve, congrats on your Feature. This is a touching, nicely composed image. Gentoos are my favorite penguin. That little slash of red lipstick on their bills creates a winsome look.
