Macaroni Penguin

Macaroni penguins are found subantartic to the Antartic Peninsula. Also on Cspe Horn, the Falklands, South Georgia, and Prince Edward. They spend most of their time during the cold winter months fishing in cold oceans because they are more protected from the bitter conditions of the Antartic winter.

Macaroni penguins are one the biggest and heaviest of the penguins. Adults penguins generally average 70cm in height. One of their distinctive features is a long red-colored beak and a crest of thin bright-yellow feathers on its head.

Macaroni penguins only have a few natural predators: Leopard seals, killer whales, and passing sharks.
