      Explanation: A male Adelie penguin performed this Ecstatic Vocalization   
      in silhouette during the December 4 solar eclipse, the final eclipse of   
      2021. Of course his Ecstatic Vocalization is a special display that   
      male penguins use to claim their territory and advertise their   
      condition. This penguin's territory, at Cape Crozier Antarctica, is   
      located in one of the largest Adelie penguin colonies. The colony has   
      been studied by researchers for over 25 years. From there, last   
      December's eclipse was about 80 percent total when seen at its maximum   
      phase as the Moon's shadow crossed planet Earth's southernmost   
      continent.
