Sun Star Feeding on Penguin Carcass


A sun star feeds on a penguin carcass in frigid Antarctic waters. Sea stars are opportunistic feeders. While some simply gather organic particles that float their way, others actively prey on clams or coral. This sun star is scavenging, making a meal of the remnants of a penguin left behind by leopard seals.
