King penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus)

Caption

A king penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus) preens on the Kerguelen Islands in the subantarctic Indian Ocean. Dubbed an “ocean wanderer,” this type of penguin demonstrates the extensive, large-scale sea movements of many animals across national boundaries and who may benefit from increased protections implemented by a United Nations sea treaty.
