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).

Galapagos Penguin

Galápagos Penguin, 49–53 cm, is the only penguin that breeds north of the equator. Restricted to the Galápagos Islands and dependent on Humboldt Current upwelling. Banded black-and-white with a horseshoe breast band. Piscivore; dives for sardines and mullet. Endangered; highly vulnerable to El Niño events.
