A Hug at Sunset 6U8A8061 by Daniel D'Auria Via Flickr: King penguins gather at Volunteer point to raise their young. The second largest penguin in the world stands an astounding 100 cm. They are serially monogamous with two-thirds of the population changing mates each breeding cycle and one-third remaining with a previous mate. As the sun set, this couple stood side by side with one fondly caressing the other with its flipper. It’s a touching story told in a single photo.

King Penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus) 

The King Penguin gets its name from it being believed to be the largest penguin on Earth at the time of its discovery - until the Emperor Penguin was recognised as a seperate species. Fish make up 80% of the King Penguin's diet, except in winter months, where they make up only 30%.
