Animal Facts:
The gentoo penguin is a charismatic species known for the white stripe across its head and its bright orange beak. Found on subantarctic islands and the Antarctic Peninsula, gentoos are the fastest swimming penguins, reaching speeds of up to 36 km/h (22 mph). They’re also one of the largest penguin species, standing 70–90 cm (28–35 in) tall.
These penguins are famous for their creative courtship rituals—males present special stones to impress females, which are then used to build their circular nests. Gentoos are opportunistic feeders, enjoying a diet of fish, krill, and squid. Despite thriving in icy habitats, their population remains stable, earning them a "Least Concern" status. Fun fact: their waddling gait and rump-tail movement inspired their scientific name, Pygoscelis, meaning "rump-tailed penguin"!
