Adelie penguins

Adelie like to hang out near the Antarctic Peninsula. These are the types of penguins that steal pebbles from their neighbors to build nests. They can dive depths up to 1800 meters.


They feed on krill and fish they breed in October through to February. The couples take turns in protecting the eggs for a month or 5 weeks.


Every year millions of breeding couples return to their nesting grounds called a rooky. They may travel 1000’s of km over the ice to get there.


They are very friendly animals they can get used to all animals including humans. But still hate enemies.

They have black heads and chins. They have a pure white stomach and white lidded eyes. They have long stiff tales they use these to prop them self up so they can doze of to sleep while standing up.


They are 5 kilograms and 70 cm high. penguins have a compact body shape to keep body warmth.
