■About Gentoo Penguin
With their gorgeous reddish-orange beaks, white bands on their heads, and peach and orange legs, gentoo penguins stand out on the rocky ground of Antarctica, where they live.
This charismatic creature that lives on the Antarctic Peninsula and its many surrounding islands is the third largest of the penguins, growing up to about 30 inches (about 76 cm) tall and weighing 12 pounds (about 5.5 kg).
Like all penguins, the Gentoo Penguin moves awkwardly on land, but swims naturally and gracefully underwater. They have a streamlined body and powerful paddle-shaped paw fins, and are the fastest of any underwater diving bird, able to swim at speeds of 22 miles per hour (about 35 km).
