Detailed Species Notes

On the subsequent pages (reached by clicking on the penguin names on the left) you will find our notes on each of the penguin species.

These notes cover the distinguishing features of the species and of any sub-species, typical heights and weights of the birds, a map indicating the main breeding locations of the species (and any sub-species), a description of the terrain in which the birds nest, the sort of nests they build and the ways in which the adults care for their young.  We also list the typical diet of the species.

You will also find a small photo of a penguin from that species on each page as well as links to further photographs on this site.

Additional information on the breeding behaviour is given in a separate section as is information on the threats to the penguins.
