King Penguins
The King penguin is the second largest
penguin and looks somewhat like the Emperor penguin. They are
about 3 feet tall and weigh up to 35 pounds.
King penguins have orange spots near their
ears and on the neck.
King penguins mainly eat fish and some squid and crustaceans.
They are found on many sub-Antarctic islands including Crozet, Prince Edward ,
Kerguelen, South Georgia and Mazquarie Islands.
Like the Emperor penguin, the King penguin
hatches only one chick at a time. Their chicks have fuzzy brown
feathers for about a year after they are born.
