This king penguin seemed to be channelling his best wolf impersonation. This was the last morning of my trip to the Falkland Islands and I got up before the sun to see what was happening down by the king penguin colony. I didn’t get far before I spotted this guy doing his thing. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 105mm) ISO 400, f/8 at 1/160th of a second, Nikon SB-900 flash.
Thanks Sue. This is one of those shots I passed over the first time I went through images from this trip and then had a pleasant discovery a few years later upon a second look.

I’m so glad you fought the temptation to line it up to look as though he was trying to swallow the moon!
Oh, I got that one too.
Love it!
Howling at the moon, totally understandable, (something I have done on occasion). Great shot.
Ha. Thanks Michael. Those crazy penguins.
It’s as if he’s asking his god to save his world!
Thankfully, his world is still in pretty good shape compared to that of some of his feathered cousins.
Wonderful!
Thanks Mom.

You did it. You finally found my spirit animal.
Nice. The rare howling penguin. Perfect.
Well he is the KING !!! 🙂
No doubt Shelley. License to do as he pleases.
So so beautiful. We all know just how he feels! Thanks for a great moment captured.
Thanks Laura.
Are those things good eating?
C’mon now Bob. Soph would be disappointed in such a question.
Just amazing!
Thanks Angelina.
