Macaroni Penguin

The Macaroni Penguin is a species of penguin found from the Subantarctic to the Antarctic Peninsula. One of six species of crested penguin, it is very closely related to the Royal Penguin, and some authorities consider the two to be a single species. It bears a distinctive yellow crest, and the face and upperparts are black and sharply delineated from the white underparts. Adults weigh on average 5.5 kg and are 70 cm in length. The male and female are similar in appearance although the male is slightly larger with a relatively larger bill. Like all penguins, it is flightless, with a streamlined body and wings stiffened and flattened into flippers for a marine lifestyle.

The Macaroni Penguin is classified as Vulnerable (VU), considered to be facing a high risk of extinction in the wild.

With about 18 million individuals, the Macaroni Penguin is the most numerous penguin species. However, widespread decline in populations have been recorded since the mid 1970s. These factors result in their conservation status being reclassified as vulnerable. More

There are more Macaroni Penguins out there that are males than females. As a result of this, the females have the ability to be extremely selective during the mating process. Generally the younger females are going to want to mate with the older males. The females generally lay two eggs at a time. The first egg is likely to be very small and so the offspring has a very low chance of survival. The incubation period for the eggs is about 34 days. More
