Gentoo Penguin resting in the snow
This Gentoo Penguin decided to take a rest in the snow. Sometimes they come back in from feeding and they can hardly walk because they are so full. They will lay down and rest on the beach or snow.

We observed numerous nesting Gentoo Penguins. They either were sitting on eggs, or in some cases had very small Chicks. Gentoo Penguins generally lay two eggs.
