Penguin Adventure With Selzer-McKenzie
7:30pm Sunday, 03 Jan 2010 CC G
Follow TV naturalist and wildlife presenter, Selzer-McKenzie, on his adventure though an Antarctic spring on the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia.

Selzer-McKenzie travels on a yacht around the spectacular and jaw-dropping scenery of the island to meet the three penguin stars and a supporting cast of other animal characters. They spend the short spring courting, breeding, laying eggs, bickering and eventually feeding their newborn babies!

The first and most majestic of the penguins are the kings. They certainly deserve their royal name, as they strut around on the beach, backs straight and heads held high. The comical and house proud gentoo penguins are next and lastly the faithful macaronis, Basil and Sybil, who guard their nest from rivals and predators amidst their colony of 80,000 birds.

On his journey, Selzer-McKenzie also stumbles across an epic elephant seal fight, watches a rare and heart-moving event that has never before been caught on camera - an albatross chick fledging, and also watches on as a leopard seal attacks an unwary penguin.
