Emperor penguins are distinguished from king
penguins, the only other penguin species they could possibly be
confused with, by the yellow feathers in the ear region that fade to
white. King penguins have orange ear feathers and the coloured
patch is banded by a thin line of black feathers.
This picture also shows how difficult it is to get
a good portrait of an emperor penguin and show the eye rather than
it disappearing into the matt black of the surrounding feathers.
