1. Preparing for Ice Skating Championship
This amazing picture shows two gentoo penguins in what would seem to be the ideal ice skating stance. The timing and composition give the impression that these naturally beautiful animals are training for a human athletic event. Their natural waddling on ice, together with their streamlined bodies and innate balance, help them to resemble professional ice skaters in mid-performance.
