Emperor Penguins
The rule in Antarctica is never to approach closer than 15 feet to wildlife. But if you sit quietly, the wildlife are free to approach as close as they wish. King penguins are very inquisitive, and have often come up to investigate
and peck my boots and tripod. My sole experience with an emperor penguin on the other hand suggests that they are not curious creatures, but stoically proceed in their own direction at their own steady pace, taking no notice of human visitors. My penguin here left the boulders and started heading up the snow slope along a direct path. I estimated where it might reach the crest, scampered ahead and sat down to wait. Luckily, I had guessed correctly, and experienced a wonderful close encounter with 'my' emperor.
