Thanks a lot, Sami! Penguins are part of the food chain that's why they always lay two eggs...

Thank you so much, Chris! Yes, part of nature-if the egg survives the chicks are in danger of being eaten as well...

Gosh, penguin eggs, interesting texture.
8 years ago.
Gudrun club has replied to Gillian Everett club
Thanks, Gillian! I didn't want to have a closer look at the texture, I suspect there's some guano involved;-)

Gudrun club has replied to Dida From Augsburg
Danke, Dida! Genau, Raubmöwen müssen auch fressen....
Ich habe jeden Sonntag eure tollen Ideen gesehen, da wollte ich mich auch mal dran versuchen- hab gleich mit Disqualifizierung angefangen;-)

sehr cool, dass Du ein Pinguin-Ei fotografieren konntest. Schade allerdings, dass es vorher geräubert wurde ... Willkommen hier :-)

Gudrun club has replied to Chrissy club
Danke, Chrissy! Wir haben damals sogar noch "ungeräuberte" Eier mit Pinguin draufsitzend gesehen- die hatte ich auf die Schnelle nicht gefunden;-)

so soll es sein, das ein Gleichgewicht bestehen bleibt ... sehr schön - auch in der Bearbeitung!

Gudrun club has replied to Fallnetöm
Besten Dank, Töm! Die Skuas sind bei den Pingus schon eingeplant, sonst würden sie nicht 2 Eier legen- überleben tut in 90% eh nur das kräftigere Küken, das auch bevorzugt gefüttert wird.

Thanks you so much, George! And it's not the end- if they survive the skuas there are still the leopard seals...
