Gentoo Penguin

The gentoo penguin is a penguin of subantarctic and Antarctic regions, recognized by a broad white stripe across the head and a bright orange-red bill. It feeds on fish, krill and other marine animals, using strong flippers to pursue prey underwater. Breeding birds commonly build nests with stones on exposed ground. Parents share incubation and chick care, making repeated trips between colony and sea. Calls and individual behavior help partners and chicks find one another in crowded nesting areas.
