Thank you all. Yes it should be beak. This was shot while on my fith visit to the penguins in captivity at Sea World, Orlando. They are adorable creatures, so I asked permission to take my grandson along this last time. He was somehow careful first but later had a great time. He also played with a king penguin, and entred the habitat where there is snow. #6855407
