Were you an awkward looking kid? Brightly colored king penguins actually begin their lives as shaggy brown youthlings. These chicks, known as woolies, will flaunt their long coats for a year and develop a layer of blubber to keep them warm throughout the winter. Just before summertime the woolies will shed their “baby feathers” and grow into the brightly colored penguins that they were meant to be! . . . . #POTD #photooftheday #picoftheday #photography #nature #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #landscapephotography #themoreyouknow #animalfacts #penguins #woolies #babypenguins #blubber #awkward
