Gentoo Penguin: Conquerors of the Ocean
Gentoo penguins are one of the most well-known penguin species in Antarctica. They are renowned for their incredible swimming speed, capable of reaching up to 36 km/h (22 mph). Gentoos conquer the ocean with their specialized plumage, consisting of two layers: a thick layer of down inside for warmth and a dense, stiff outer layer that is waterproof.
Gentoo penguins dive to depths of 50-100 meters (164-328 feet) to hunt for prey, holding their breath for up to 7 minutes thanks to air sacs under their skin.
Their breeding season occurs from October to March. Gentoo penguins build nests on rocks or pebbles, lay 2 eggs, and both parents take turns incubating and caring for the chicks.
Gentoos live in large colonies, protecting themselves and staying warm during the harsh winter.
