Penguins in their natural habitat, photographed in glorious full
color.
The extraordinary and adorable antics of penguins attract thousands of
tourists every year to remote and icy locations. Penguins never fail to
make people smile; wild penguins waddle up and inspect us as if we were
just another kind of flightless creature walking on two legs. In this
book, the vibrant world of penguins is shown in all its glory by David
Tipling, who has trekked to beautiful and faraway locations to capture
these birds in their natural habitats.
Tipling's gorgeous full-color images catch moments rarely witnessed by
humans. He shows us an Adélie penguin speeding through water at 25 mph;
a line of King penguins in a snow squall; doting Emperor penguin parents
with their fluffy chick; a young penguin nuzzling a camera's telescopic
lens; a Rockhopper penguin hopping from rock to rock; a large social
gathering of Chinstrap penguins; the striking plumage and courtship
display of a male Macaroni penguin; and much more. The book features 139
striking photographs of these unique birds taken in the wild. In the
accompanying text, Tipling profiles all of the world's seventeen penguin
species, and chapters cover every aspect of their lives and behavior,
including migration, defending against predators, and life in extreme
climates.
This stunning book is a celebration of penguins that is sure to
captivate any bird lover, wildlife enthusiast, or photography buff.
