About These Birds
King Penguin
임금펭귄은 남극 주변 아남극 지역에 서식하는 세계에서 두 번째로 큰 펭귄이다. 선명한 주황색과 노란색 귀 깃털이 특징이며 키가 약 95cm에 달한다. 깊은 바다로 잠수하여 물고기를 잡으며 번식에 14개월이 걸리는 긴 번식 주기를 가진다.
Wilson's Bird-of-paradise
Wilson's bird-of-paradise is one of the most extraordinarily colored birds on Earth. Males meticulously clear a patch of forest floor as a display court, removing every leaf and twig. The species was virtually unknown to science until the late 20th century due to its restricted island range.
