a day of penguins

Rode south along atlantic coast to puerto lombo to a spend day with peguins…lots of penguins.
Walking into the colony had no idea how many peguins there would be..just excited to see one in person.
Samuel Jackson wasn’t there to narate but this was one of the coolest wildlife experiences ive ever had.....Walking amonst a colony of 1 million peguins…right at my feet or to the side…chest out heads back soaking the sun….babies,mothers, fathers and fighters…some of them looked a little tore up and gauged like they were either bully or the beaten.occasionally there were couples gaucking each other slapping fins and rubbing bellies…others playing/ laying on the coastline….whatever they wer doing there is no doubt peguins are full of personality…..nature at its best.

these sheep started walking up the beach and hanging out right in with the peguins....penguins and sheep...who would thought
