The photo story of a life
Nowadays, most people take a lot of photographs. But there's always one that stands out from the others.In his personal blog, Richard Branson, owner of Virgin, tells the story of the photo taken by a friend and its second meaning. Lincoln Gasking, a friend of Branson, was on an expedition in Antarctica when he spotted a group of penguins in Group at the top of a piece of floating ice, protecting each other from Leopard seals that could strike at any moment, when another predator appeared.It was a giant petrel. This seabird, with a wingspan that can reach two metres, usually feed on small fish, seafood and animal carcasses. When none of these dishes is available in the menu, the bird used to attack other birds, chicks in particular penguin chicks."Having reached a rocky colony one morning, we spotted a giant petrel that was watching the penguins. Our guide not photographed a bird like this for over 12 years. As a lover of photography this seemed like a good challenge, "said Gasking."Almost two hours after we arrived, I couldn't believe what I was seeing the petrel through my lens, which in the meantime had perched on a rock. It was only then that I noticed in their cruel intentions. Opening the big wings, the bird was preparing to attack a colony of penguin chicks "."There are many stories of mothers who play heroic acts to save their young. This was one of those moments. When all seemed lost appeared one of the Moms in charge of day care to protect their young. Emitting cries, the mother Penguin faced petrel and saved all the Cubs ".
