王企鹅拥有超强的潜水能力，为了捕食美味的鱿鱼和灯笼鱼，它们可以潜入水下300多英尺，有些甚至可以达到1000英尺的深度！这些不会飞的鸟潜水时身姿优雅。但在陆地上，它们就不那么优雅了，走起路来摇摇晃晃，要么就是趴着圆滚滚的肚子四处滑动。”

‘Come on, guys, this way!’. Penguin Awareness Day

We’re celebrating Penguin Awareness Day on the Falkland Islands, taking a stroll with some king penguins. Kings are the second-largest penguin species, only outranked in stature by their emperor penguin cousins. And while the King’s tuxedo coloring gives them a dash of the debonair, it also provides an important and more practical purpose: camouflage. When the birds dive deep into the ocean looking for food, their black feathers disguise the bird from predators above, while their white undersides do the reverse.

Kings are legendary for their diving prowess—in their quest for tasty squid and lanternfish, they can dive over 300 feet below the surface, and some have even been spotted at depths near 1,000 feet! Underwater these flightless birds are the epitome of grace. On land, however, they are not so graceful, and waddle or ‘toboggan’ on their bellies to get around.
