■ About Gentoo Penguin
With their gorgeous reddish-orange beaks, white bands on their heads, and pink or orange feet, gentoo penguins stand out on the rocky ground of Antarctica.
This charismatic waddling creature that lives on the Antarctic Peninsula and many surrounding islands is the third largest of the penguins, reaching a height of 30 inches (about 76 cm) and a weight of about 12 pounds (about 5.5 kg) when it grows.
Like all penguins, gentoo penguins move awkwardly on land, but swim naturally and gracefully in the water. They have a streamlined body and powerful paddle-shaped flippers that allow them to swim at 22 miles per hour (about 35 km), the fastest of any bird that dives underwater.
