About These Birds
Emperor Penguin
The emperor penguin is the tallest and heaviest of all penguin species. They breed in the harshest conditions on Earth, enduring Antarctic winter temperatures of -60 C and wind speeds of 200 km/h. Males incubate the single egg on their feet under a brood pouch for about 65 days while fasting.
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).
