When it's winter in the Southern Hemisphere,
gentoo penguins need to make landfall to breed.
It's winter in June in the Falklands,
and a two-year-old gentoo has only one thing on his mind.
Romance.
But he's never done this before.
He's young, inexperienced, and possibly in for a rocky ride.
This young male gentoo penguin must follow some simple steps
to score a mate.
A female will choose a male to breed with
based on his behaviors, so the pressure is on.
Step one, find a girl.
Step two, make sure she's single.
Step three, find her a nice rock.
Once that's all settled, it's time to find a home.
So they both build a nest together with pebbles.
Construction approved.
It's no castle, but it'll do the job.
Honeymoon over, it's time to go fishing.
