Gentoo penguin typically hatch two penguin chicks each season. They feed these chicks for approximately 3 months until the babies grow big enough to fledge the nest and survive on their own. Penguin parents take good care of their chicks, but there is still competition for food. Watch as these two baby penguins try to get food from their parent. One of the chicks is clearly bigger and able to get food more easily. Will the smaller chick get fed?
