    Falklands wildlife and tourism promoted by French news agency

    Kings are just one of five penguin species in the Falklands, alongside the wacky-looking rockhoppers, gentoos, macaronis and the burrowing magellanics.

Their fluffy brown chicks are nearly fearless of humans, meaning tourists at Volunteer Point, a peninsula on East Falkland Island might get almost close enough to touch one.
