ANTARCTIC Seashore

The biology of penguins and the species of penguins of the Antarctic seashore...

Family Spheniscidae: Penguins

A moulting penguin is a mess!

Penguins don't have teeth, but they do have something that looks similar inside their mouths. These are backwards pointing barbs, that help grip their slippery prey and encourage the one way direction down their throat.

Pygoscelis spp. 'Brush-tailed Penguins'

There are three species in this genus.

Pygoscelis papua, 'Gentoo Penguin'

Gentoo Penguins usually lay two eggs. After about a month, the two chicks hatch. Both of the parents incubate the eggs and feed the young, taking turns.

Updates
My first trip after the virus is as Expedition leader in Tasmania with Coral Expeditions (March), followed by my role as biologist guest lecturer on the Great Barrier Reef (April) and Expedition Leader in the Kimberley (in May). If you can't go travelling until everything settles down, then until then, here I am doing online guided walks for Noble Caledonia and online lectures for Silversea.
