King confab

For World Penguin Day, we're dropping in on these three kings, who are conferring on matters of state, no doubt. You might expect the king penguin to be the largest but the emperor penguin outranks the 3ft king in stature, although they look similar. The king stands out because of its yellow-orange chest feathers and the matching flash of colour on its head. Kings can be found in Antarctica and on the subantarctic islands, only visiting the shore during the breeding season and when it’s time to moult.
