This king penguin chick, also called an "oakum boy" is all wet and covered in mud from pools of water. It walks past the adult penguins and in front of the camera in disgust as if having a bad hair day or something. This was shot in St. Andrews Bay on the island of South Georgia in the Southern Ocean on November 30, 2021. The king penguin chick is normally brown and fluffy but after being submerged in muddy water, it looks disheveled and walks awkwardly by.
