Penguin Manages To Keep His Fish Safe From Seagull

These are some slowed down action of the Humboldt penguin feeding time at Twycross zoo in England. The weather is cold and there is still some snow on the ground. The thieving Seagulls are trying to steal the fish from Penguins, which are becoming quite a nuisance for the zoo. When the first too penguins catch the first fish, they tear at it, it gets ripped apart and they share the catch. The next penguin isn’t prepared to share with anybody, especially not the seagulls and is holding on tied to his fish. The thieving seagull aggressively flies towards the penguin with its beak wide open trying to rip it out of his beak, but the penguin is not letting go. He turns away from the gull avoiding all the other seagulls and successfully turns round his catch in his mouth and swallows it whole.  One of the seagulls manages to get a discarded fish, but wasn’t lucky for very long as another bird snatched it of him.

Humboldt penguins are South American penguins that breed in Peru and Chile. They’re also called Chilean penguin, Peruvian penguin, or patranca. There Conservation Status is Vulnerable, as they are threatened by poaching, pollution and also over fishing.
