Cape gannets
Cape gannets (Morus capensis) parent and chick. The chick is begging for food. A pair of gannets will produce a single egg and both sets of parents take an active part in incubating it. The hatchling weighs only 70 grams after hatching, but its body mass becomes one third of an adults within just three weeks. Photographed on Malgas Island, South Africa.
