Photos were taken in Galapagos National park, during cruise. Photos were taken from the small boat, which we had to come closer to the land.
 
Photos shows relashionships in families and between families.
 
Galapagas penguins - second of smallest penguins in the world. And they are the only king which live so up north, almost on equator.
Inspite of population is still exist, they are in real danger because of climat change. Now there are less than 1000 only left. The main reason is the cold currents are replaced by warm plus the natural enemies and also animals imported to the Isabela Island(one of the main places of their nesting). 
 
This story lasted just about 3 minutes. 
Fight was for woman, of course.
The one, who came to break the couple, i guess, could feel that female is ready for mating and bacame crazy. He actually has his female and was trying to mating with her - after this fight, but she wasn't agree. So he was trying to "borrow" a wife from another family. But her husband showed himself strong and confident and family together chased away the troublemaker.
 
After dumped hero was chased to the ocean, he cooled himself and went back to his female.
