Info from Licensor: "King penguin chicks really are some of the most comical characters on Earth. They wear a coat of fluffy brown down for the first 10 months of their lives to help them endure the freezing cold temperatures of winter on land in the sub-Antarctic. I was filming groups of king penguins huddled together on a shallow frozen lake that had formed at a colony on Marion Island. All of sudden, I saw a single chick make its way out of a huddle and it started walking towards me. It was hilarious! Especially when it fell through the ice. As it walked out of frame I picked my tripod up and filmed it as it walked off as if nothing happened."
