Wildlife spotlight
Gentoo penguin
Size
Standing about 30 inches tall, gentoos are the third largest penguins, after emperor and king penguins.
Interesting info
Breeding pairs of gentoos often stay together for years or a lifetime. They build nests together, using molted feathers, twigs, vegetation, and many hundreds of pebbles. After the female lays two eggs, the male and female take turns incubating them.
Tomorrow is Penguin Awareness Day. Did you know there are 17-19 penguin species, and they can be found in diverse environments, from Antarctica to the Galápagos? Their black-and-white coloration is camouflage—they blend in with the sky or ocean, depending on whether predators see them from below or above.
