NARRATOR: 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 will do the job.

Honeymoon over, it's time to go fishing.
