About 300,000 emperor penguins and 4,000 statues of the sea (sea elephants) stand in the beach of St Andrews Bay, belonging to South Geia Island, British overseas territory.Giant marine statues look like big rocks on the sandy shore.
Although they are both present on the sandy beach and do not touch each other, penguins often have to keep their distance and move smoothly, not getting too close to the colony.When detecting penguins at close range, the statue will growling and warning.
In the breeding season, statues and penguins often go to South Georgia beach to give birth, nurture their babies and rest.The colony and the penguins crowded together on the long coastline.
Two statues of the sea growled and fought in the water because there was not enough space to stand on the shore.
The sound of young children calling their parents, the angry growl of the statues of the sea creatures creates jarring sounds and makes the coast become turbulent.
