Manchot papou muant. Pygoscelis papua. Pendant la mue, les nouvelles plumes poussent les anciennes hors de la peau dans laquelle elles sont insérées. Les anciennes plumes s'ouvrent alors puis sont éliminées. Pendant cette période, les manchots jeûnent car ils ne peuvent aller dans l'eau, l'étanchéité de leur plumage n'étant plus correctement assurée. Eté, Falkland islands, îles Malouines. Gentoo penguin moulting. Pygoscelis papua. During the moult, the new feathers push the old one out of the skin. The old one then open and fell. During this period, the penguins fast. They cannot go into the water as their plumage isn?t waterproof.. Summer, Falkland islands
