|A Chinstrap Penguin| The Chinstrap Penguin (Pygoscelis
antarctica) is a penguin that gets its name from the narrow band
of black feathers that goes under their "chin" from ear to ear.
They are sometimes called the ‘Stone cracker penguin’ because of
their squeaky and high pitched call. Chinstrap penguins are
found in polar, shallow seas and coastal areas. Some penguins
are born very pale and are called ‘Blonde’ penguins. There are
more chinstrap penguins than any other penguins in the world.
They feed mainly on krill and fish. The chinstrap penguins make
nests in round shapes made from small stones and take turns in
sitting on the eggs, they can be left on the nest for 10 days.
