📸Leigh West | It's been fun 2025! We conducted a full season at Punta Tombo, Argentina, started the 2025-26 Tombo season, had one full summer season in the Okavango Delta, Botswana, and even conducted field work in the Galápagos Islands of Ecuador! We hope 2026 will be just as busy. #africanwilddog

A hand holds up a very large Magellanic penguin egg. The egg is off-white, and has many stains.

We're still enthralled by this egg Eric found in October. It was 9.16cm, one of the largest eggs the project's ever seen!

A sunset over a beach at Punta Tombo, taken from a rocky bluff. The Atlantic Ocean has whitecap waves, and there are some penguins standing on the shore.
