That little indent just happens to be en route between the fascinating whirry thing and the rocks. I missed what abuse Spaghetti got, but it couldn't be worse than the big guy about 30mins ago who was rolled a fair distance and kicked in the face. It seems the big penguins just go to groom themselves instead of picking a fight like the little ones. The adelie seem especially scrappy.
Anyone else notice the gentoo are the most bothered by the camera?
