South Georgia, Salisbury Plain, King penguin chicks (Aptenodytes patagonicus) in profile. During the first thirty to fourty days of their lives the chicks stay in close vicinity to and under the guarding of their parents. After that period, the chicks have grown much bigger, and at that time a king penguin chick can keep itself warm and protect itself against most predators.  

They then form a group with other chicks, also called crèches. These penguin crèches are guarded by only a few adult king penguins, while the other birds go out to forage at sea. By that time the chicks become more curious and start to explore their surroundings.

Here on South Georgia, like this one, the chicks of the king penguins are very inquisitive and observant when it comes to visitors.

Two elephant seal pups (Mirounga leonina) playfighting on the beach of Gold Harbor, South Georgia. When they grow up, these fightings get more serious. Territorial fights between adult male elephant seals include inflicting bites through their thick seal skin. These two adult males started a fight in the water next to a shipwreck in the old Harbour of Grytviken,  South Georgia. The fight ended undecided with one of the males retreating to open waters.
