Congratulations! You're a TIED winner for 2nd Place in the contest: PENGUINS! Thank you for your participation! An amazingly tender moment captured!

Tony---are you saying that the young ones are 'playing'---when they chase the parents---why are the parents running from them? What a sight that must be. :)
Tony Beck replied:
Although it might look playful, this behaviour has a really serious side. I suspect that the larger young continually chase the parents for food. Then the adults return the message that they no longer provide food, and it's time for the young to fend for themselves.
