When in water chinstrap penguins reach speeds of about 30 kph (18 mph), and on land they slide around the ice on their stomachs with their feet and flippers propelling them. King penguins are known by scientists to have mid-afternoon naps, sleeping more deeply after lunch than during the morning. They live to be about 25 years old in the wild.

Egg-laying can occur as early as Junebut in colder areasis delayed until December.Gentoo penguins are monogamous and have up to three breeding seasons, but generally they find new partners after that. Opportunistic feeders, Magellanics take equal proportions of fish, squid, and crustaceans. While out to sea, they usually forage at depths of less than 50 meters (165 feet), but may at times dive up to 100 meters (330 feet). Adult chinstrap penguinsare one of the most abundant penguins in the world, with an average height of 68 to 76 cm (27 to 30 inches) and weight between3.2 to 5.3 kg (7.1 to 11.7 pounds). It always interests me to look into things that are fascinating for other people, although I don’t necessarily share the same fascination. Pentominoes are such a thing. Already for more than 10 years Odette De Meulenmeester, a math teacher in a Belgian school works around pentominoes in her class room. In case you don’t know, a pentomino is a shape that is formed by putting 5 equal squares together edge to edge.

King penguinscan dive to depths of more than 300 meters (985 feet)to pursue prey, staying underwater for up to nine minutes. There are 17 species of penguin on the planet, but the eight you’ll most likely recognize live in Antarctica, its nearby islands, and the sub-Antarctic archipelagos of South Georgia and the Falklands. These are the core species we tend to see on our expedition cruises. With roughly sevenmillion pairs of chinstrap penguins in the world, it's not surprising when one of these penguins is spotted from an expedition ship.However, perhaps the most important part of our work is making robust scientific estimates which support clear messages about the present and future impact of climate change, with penguins and other wildlife as standard-bearers in the fight against climate change. Not natural nest builders, king penguins instead lay one green-white egg that they incubateon theirwebbed feet andbelow afold of skin. The female lays a single egg, then passes it over to the male, who incubates it while sheheads to sea to feed. During a nine-week period, the malefastswhile keeping the egg warm, losing up to 45 percent of his body weight. Magellanic penguinsstandbetween 60 to 75 cm (23.6 to 29.5)tallandweigharound 2.5 to 6.5 kg (5.5 to 14.3 pounds). They tend to be shy around humans, running for cover in their nesting burrows if people are near. And if it gets too hot, they will shed beak feathers,pant, and stretch their flippers to catch a breeze and release excess heat.

The direction the penguins face is not important. When you look at your challenge, you only need to pay attention to which position each penguin is in, not the direction. The Falklands population, in fact, is over 100,000 breeding pairs, but this is small compared to South America, where Magellanic penguins number around 900,000 breeding pairs in Argentina and 800,000 pairs in Chile.

Emperor penguins dive deeper and longer than any bird, reaching over 200 meters(700 feet) and staying underwater for up to 18 minutes. And while they have a high survival rate, they're also the least common penguin: Only around 220,000 breeding pairs are alive today. In South Georgia, macaroni penguins arrive to breed in late October and lay their eggs two weeks later.Females laytwo eggs, the first much smaller than the second, and the smaller egg rarely hatches.
