A healthy, premoult adult king penguin ( Aptenodytes patagonicus ) with a markedly twisted beak
International audience In seabirds, diet and feeding methods are related to the species morphology (Croxall, Evans, & Schreiber, 1984). Species that feed on living, mobile resources rely on a fully operational beak to efficiently seize, kill and swallow their prey. This is particularly important...

International audience In seabirds, diet and feeding methods are related to the species morphology (Croxall, Evans, & Schreiber, 1984).
