About These Birds
Kaiserpinguin
Der Kaiserpinguin ist die größte und schwerste aller Pinguinarten. Er brütet unter den härtesten Bedingungen der Erde und erträgt antarktische Wintertemperaturen von bis zu -60 °C und Windgeschwindigkeiten von 200 km/h. Männchen bebrüten das einzelne Ei etwa 65 Tage lang auf ihren Füßen unter einer Bruttasche, während sie fasten.
Royal Penguin
Royal Penguin, 65–76 cm, breeds exclusively on Macquarie Island in the Southern Ocean. Like Macaroni Penguin but with a white (not black) face — the most obvious distinction. Crested penguin; krill and fish feeder. Vulnerable; breeds in one of the world's largest seabird colonies (~800,000 pairs).
