Penguins live in groups known as colonies. A single colony can have hundreds of thousands of birds. Many penguins—gentoos, for example—mate for life. They find their mates in the crowd by using unique identifying calls. Males are known to give females gifts of rocks, which the females use to build a nest. However, fairy penguins, which live in Australia and New Zealand, nest in sandy ground. Among emperor penguins, it’s the males that care for the eggs. Each male cradles its eggs in a warm pouch between its feet for two months until the chick hatches. For this entire time, the male penguins don’t eat; they survive by burning their body fat.

14.   What do we know about gentoo penguins?

Many of us love penguins. They waddle around and look like they’re wearing ill-fitting tuxedos. But there is more to them than their funny appearance. They are mostly found in the southern hemisphere. That includes places like Antarctica, South Africa, and Australia. The smallest is the 30-centimeter fairy penguin, and the largest is the emperor penguin, which comes in at 1.2 meters tall. Not only are they flightless birds, but they are also so bad at walking that they often slide on their stomachs instead. Though they don’t do well on land, they are perfectly adapted for water, since their bullet-like shape allows them to swim extremely fast. The fastest penguins, gentoos, can even swim at speeds of over 30 kilometers per hour! Moreover, penguins can dive with ease. Emperor penguins usually dive between 100 and 200 meters below the water’s surface. However, some have been known to dive as deep as 565 meters.
