BASIC FACTS ABOUT PENGUINS
Penguins are aquatic, flightless birds that are highly adapted to life in the water. Their distinct tuxedo-like appearance is
called countershading, a form of camouflage that helps keep them safe in the water. Penguins do have wing-bones,
though they are flipper-like and extremely suited to swimming. Penguins are found almost exclusively in the southern
hemisphere, where they catch their food underwater and raise their young on land.
DIET
Staples: Krill, fish, and squid
In general, penguins closer to the equator eat more fish and penguins closer to Antarctica eat more squid and krill.
POPULATION
AC5 – CNN Collection
The penguin species with the highest population is the Macaroni penguin with 11,654,000 pairs. The species with the
lowest population is the endangered Galapagos penguin with between 6,000-15,000 individuals.
RANGE
Penguins can be found on every continent in the Southern Hemisphere from the tropical Galapagos Islands (the
Galapagos penguin) located near South America to Antarctica (the emperor penguin).
BEHAVIOR
Penguins can spend up to 75% of their lives in the water. They do all of their hunting in the water. Their prey can be found
within 60 feet of the surface, so penguins have no need to swim in deep water. They catch prey in their beaks and
swallow them whole as they swim. Some species only leave the water for molting and breeding.
Penguins are social birds. Many species feed, swim, and nest in groups. During the breeding season, some species form
large groups, or "rookeries", that include thousands of penguins. Each penguin has a distinct call, allowing individuals to
find their mate and their chicks even in large groups.
REPRODUCTION
Mating Season: Varies depending on the species, though most breed during the spring and summer
Incubation: Varies from 1 month to 66 days depending on the species
Number of offspring: King and emperor penguins lay one egg. All other species of penguin lay two eggs.
