My Year of Darwin 4/12/2014: Darwin and the jackass


9 Charles Darwin
"This bird is commonly called the jackass penguin, from its habit, while on shore, of throwing its head backwards, and making a loud strange noise, very like the braying of an ass." Charles Darwin, Voyage of the Beagle

Darwin is still in the Falklands and comes across a few species of birds, one of them is the Jackass Penguin.
