King Penguin

The king penguin is a tall penguin of subantarctic islands, with a long beak and bright orange patches near the head and upper chest. It feeds at sea on fish and other prey, using its wings as flippers while swimming. Adults incubate a single egg on their feet rather than in a built nest. Breeding colonies can contain adults and fluffy brown chicks at different stages of development. The species resembles the emperor penguin but has different breeding grounds and a distinct life cycle.
