Description
World-renowned nature photographer Jonathan Chester combines a magnificent portfolio of penguin photographs with a highly readable and scientifically up-to-date text. Throughout the book, Chester's astonishing photographs capture these amazing birds in their natural habitats as they feed their young, porpoise out of the water to catch their breath or gather in rookeries of hundreds of thousands of birds to breed. Together, text and photographs create an unforgettable portrait of these fascinating flightless birds.
