Guarding

Gentoo Penguin at Edinburgh Zoo in Scotland


The Penguin was guarding the egg. I took this photo a few years ago at Edinburgh Zoo. As I have stated before, I have mixed feeling about zoos.

  3. Comprendo los sentimientos, ya que en los zoológicos está limitada su libertad.
    Feliz fin de semana.

  9. Congratulations on the beginning of summer! Can penguins live in zoos? This is mockery of these animals.

  11. Totally understand your feeling towards to zoos. However, for some animals, esp. the old ones, it might be better. That's beautiful shot.

  12. When I contemplate all the money in all the zoos and wildlife centres throughout the world to display penguins to a curious public who barely give a moment’s thought to the birds even as they move on to the next exhibit, it staggers the mind. If only we allocated these funds to the preservation and protection of their natural habitat the penguins would be far better served.

    1. They would be but sadly we'd end up killing them. Humans sadly don't care about anything else on this world except themselves.
