Galapagos Penguins

Penguins 4. Galapagos Penguins



The average Galapagos Penguin is 49 centimetres long and 2.5 kilograms in weight. It is the third smallest species of penguin. . They have blackish-grey upperparts and whitish underparts, with two black bands across the breast, the lower band extending down the flanks to the thigh. Juveniles differ in having a wholly dark head, greyer on side and chin, and no breast-band. The female penguins are smaller than the males, but are otherwise quite similar.
