Two Penguins Looking at Lights

I came across this touching photo on my Facebook page.

 

 

It was taken by photographer Tobias Baumgartner in 2019.

 

 

Each penguin had lost their mate, but they found comfort in each other's company.

 

 

They would spend hours each evening, just hanging out together, staring at the skyline.

 

 

The picture has won numerous awards.

 

 

 

 

I think that the picture is so sweet!

 

 

Enjoy!

So cute to have caught this.  

 

It's interesting to know 90% of all penquins mate for life.  So, these two might have gotten married.

 

Not many animals mate for life. Here are a few.

 

Wolves

Foxes

Coyotes

Bald Eagles

Beavers

Barn Owls

Pigeons

@Anonymous032819 How cute with the flipper across the back appears to be trying to comfort the other.  This was a tender moment captured and glad you shared.  Merry Christmas!
