	Gentoo Penguin
		The gentoo penguins are timid with other species but can be aggressive and will fight over stones and nest building materials from the other birds’ nests.
		Gentoo penguins stay with the same mate for years and sometimes for life.
		While gentoo penguins are not endangered, they are considered vulnerable with only 300,000 breeding pairs in the wild.

	Penguin - MSN Encarta
		The emperor penguin is unusual in that it returns to its breeding colony on the ice of the Antarctic continent between March and April, at the end of the Southern Hemisphere summer.
		Penguins typically nest on ground surfaces in open habitats, and their nests consist of a simple hollow among boulders or tussock grass, lined with a few stones or bits of vegetation.
		The crested penguins are unique among all birds in laying two eggs of very different sizes—the first egg laid is often less than half the size of the second, and it is the chick from the second egg that is most likely to survive.

	Penguins - Travel Photos by Galen R Frysinger, Sheboygan, Wisconsin
		Penguins are insulated from the frigid ocean water by three layers of short, dense feathers and an underlying layer of fat.
		The gentoo penguin raises its flippers and calls or bows in a manner peculiar to the gentoo; the jackass penguin bows, shakes his head, and brays in a characteristic jackasslike call; and the courtship display and clear trumpeting of the king penguin are specific to that species.
		The gentoo penguin is classified as Pygoscelis papua, the Adélie penguin as Pygoscelis adeliae, the jackass penguin as Spheniscus demersus, the Galapagos penguin as Spheniscus mendiculus, and the Humboldt penguin as Spheniscus humboldti.

	Falklands Penguins
		The Gentoo Penguin is scattered in small colonies throughout the Islands which are the second most important breeding centre in the world for this species, resident year round and restricted to close inshore at all times.
		Gentoos are facing mixed fortunes with population declines and low breeding success in some parts of the Islands, contributing to an overall decline in the Falklands population which may be as great as 40% over the last 20 years.
		The Rockhopper Penguin is noisy, quarrelsome and the smallest penguin breeding in the Falklands.

	Penguins: Gentoo Penguins - Pygoscelis papua
		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.
		At sea, Gentoo penguins are subject to predation by sea lions, leopard seals and orcas.
		Penguin eggs are always taken at the start of incubation, and the birds rapidly re-lay, so that colonies which have had eggs taken show little difference in productivity by the time chicks are ready to fledge.

	Australian Antarctic Division - Gentoo penguins
		Larger populations of gentoo penguins are found at South Georgia, the Falkland Islands and the Iles Kerguelen.
		Gentoo penguins are the least abundant of the penguins found on the subantarctic islands, with a total breeding population of approximately 314 000 pairs.
		Gentoo penguins forage at sea close to the colony, and thus their chicks are fed frequently.

		Chinstrap and Gentoo penguins both penetrate south of the Antarctic Convergence, but their breeding grounds are further to the north.
		Gentoos have a wider range than Chinstraps, and they can be found between 52 degrees South latitude in the Falklands and 65 degrees South latitude on the frozen Antarctic Peninsula.
		Gentoos that live in the more southerly latitudes tend to be smaller in size, and they also have smaller bills, flippers, and feet.

		Birds of the Falkland Islands - Gentoo Penguin (Pygoscelis papua)
		Gentoo Penguins nest in colonies adjacent to sandy or shingle beaches at over 80 locations around the Falklands.
		The Falklands population suffered a decline during the 1980s and early 1990s, probably as a result of over-fishing, but appears to have reached an equilibrium by 2002, albeit at a lower population level than prior to the onset of commercial fishing.

		Gentoo penguins are gregarious at sea, meaning they will form 'rafts' of hundreds of individuals to aid in catching prey.

	Care2's Race for the Oceans
		Gentoos nest in colonies of up to several hundred breeding pairs, and while the colony may periodically move to a fresh patch of beach, the same penguins often remain neighbors for life.
		Scientists have identified two subspecies of Gentoos, with a southern population breeding on the Antarctic Peninsula and a few nearby islands, and a northern population nesting on several islands groups, including the Falklands, South Georgia, Iles Crozet and Kerguelen, Heard, Macquarie, and the South Shetland Islands.
		Gentoo eggs and chicks, however, are a favorite food of many birds of prey, including eagles, caracaras, gulls and skuas.

	General Facts And Information on Penguins
		Some species of penguins live 75% of their lives at sea, coming to shore only to breed and molt.
		The penguin also keep their feathers well oiled with frequent preening and an oil gland at the base of the tail.
		Since the penguins are not waterproof while they are molting, they do not go to sea, and do not eat, during this time.

		The Gentoo's flippers are fl on the outside, and white on the underside.

	gentoo penguin nests
		These gentoo nests are spaced out in a way that nearly all penguin nests are spaced out, at just over two "attack lengths" apart.
		The resulting spacing is that penguins sitting on adjacent nests are just that bit too far away to reach each other, so neither feels immediately threatened and peace ensues.
		The down side of this arrangement is that when a penguin wants to leave the nest to go fishing, or if it's coming back from fishing, it becomes in range of both beaks from the adjacent nests when walking through the colony.
