Animal Facts:
The chinstrap penguin is a striking species named for the thin black band under its head, giving it the appearance of wearing a helmet. Found on the icy shores of Antarctica and nearby islands, this medium-sized penguin grows up to 76 cm (30 in) tall and weighs around 3.2–5.3 kg (7–12 lbs).
Known for their loud, harsh calls, they’re also nicknamed the "stonecracker penguin." Chinstrap penguins are agile swimmers, diving up to 80 km (50 mi) offshore daily to hunt for krill, fish, and squid. On land, they’re often described as feisty and aggressive, making them one of the most spirited penguin species.
Interestingly, chinstrap penguins microsleep over 10,000 times a day in 4-second bursts, allowing them to stay alert while conserving energy. They’re also famous for inspiring the heartwarming story of "Roy and Silo," two male penguins who raised a chick together at New York’s Central Park Zoo.
