About this book
The subtitle of the book is A Study of Their Social Habits, and its author is G. Murray Levick. The text says the Adélie penguin gives you the impression of a very smart little man in an evening dress suit. The text says the wings of Adélies, like those of the other penguins, have taken the form of paddles. A quoted account describes a poor hen standing in the water and trying to squat down on the eggs, but each time sitting in the water and having to get up again.
The text describes a violent altercation between two penguins, one of which was in possession of a nest in a somewhat isolated position. The text says the Skuas attend upon seals bringing forth their young upon the sea-ice, and devour the after-births.
