About These Birds
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).
Humboldt Penguin
Humboldt Penguin, 56–70 cm, is restricted to the coasts of Peru and Chile, dependent on cold, fish-rich Humboldt Current. Single white facial stripe, large bare skin patch around bill. Piscivore; dives for anchovies and herring. Vulnerable; populations severely reduced by guano harvesting, fishing pressure, and El Niño.
