Probably a little humanised... but still...
The lighter penguin is an elderly female whose partner died this year (2020). The darker one is a younger male who lost his partner two years ago. Biologists have followed them as they meet every night to comfort each other. They stand for hours together watching the lights. Photographer Tobias Baumgaertner captured this image of two widowed fairy penguins looking over the Melbourne skyline. It has won an award in Oceanographic magazine’s Ocean Photography Awards 2020.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Not even a little humanized, we see deep emotions in animals all the time, we just ignore it because we were raised to think we have "dominion" and that's our flaw, not theirs.
