Penguins: Gentoo Penguins - Pygoscelis papua |
 | | Gentoo penguins are ground nesting birds, making rudimentary nests from stones, sticks, grass, feathers, or practically any material that they can find suitable for the purpose. |
 | | Gentoo penguin populations are characterised by large annual fluctuations in population size and breeding success, with the later ranging between 0.5 and 1.5 chicks fledged per breeding pair. |
 | | Gentoo penguins are also very tolerant of grazing animals, such as sheep, cattle and horses, which often wander around Gentoo colonies without causing alarm. |
