In what looks to be the world's largest day care facility, thousands upon thousands of King Penguins group their offspring together into giant huddles to stop them from dying in the sub-zero temperatures of South Georgia. They are also better protected from predators in this huge gathering. Chicks with their long, brown, downy coats are made to crowd together to retain their body warmth in groups visible as brown swathes on this spectacular photo below.
