Moma Gentoo penguin feeding her fledgling. Look closely to see the regurgitated food Light brown mass) that the adults transfer to the fledgling. The parent catches the fish, krill or squid, digests it or holds it in for a while, then when it is ready, it regurgitates the food into its beak, and then uses its beak as a kind of spoon to place the food into the baby penguin's mouth. Photo taken at Brown Bluff, a towering, ice-capped volcanic cliff on the southeast side of the Antarctic Sound, near the northern coast of the Weddell Sea.
