Mass mourning: Scores of Emperor penguins in an act of communal grief after the deaths of their chicks in Antarctica
‘Part of my job is to accept that with the spectacular sights of nature also come the stark facts of life, and to see Emperor Penguins mourning in a human-like way over the death of their chicks is heart-wrenching,’ he said.
