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).

Chinstrap Penguin

Chinstrap Penguin, 68–76 cm, is named for the thin black line under the chin resembling a helmet strap. Breeds on Antarctic Peninsula and sub-Antarctic islands; among the most abundant penguins. Krill specialist; dives to 70 m. Highly vocal and aggressive at colonies. Partially migratory.
