At the start of the breeding season, this King penguin pair has finally made it to the point of mating. Courtship has already been in progress for several days. Because of a penguin's anatomy, the male must actually stand on the back of the female to fertilize her egg, as is the case with many other birds such as ducks.
This video was taken at the Volunteer Point King Penguin rookery. Footage compiled in conjunction with work for the NGO, Falklands Conservation. Visit http://www.falklandsconservation.com for more info on current projects in the Falkland Islands.
