	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.

		Macaronis inhabit the maritime Antarctic and subantarctic regions with large breeding populations found on South Georgia Island (5.4 million pairs) and other islands of the Scotia Arc, on Heard Island, Marion Island, Isles Crozet (2.2 million pairs) and Kerguelen (1.8 million pairs), and the Falkland Islands.

		Penguin ancestry beyond Waimanu is not well known, though some scientists (Mayr, 2005) think the penguin-like plotopterids (usually considered relatives of anhingas and cormorants) may actually be an early sister group of the penguins, and that penguins may have ultimately shared a common ancestor with the Pelecaniformes.
		Penguin is thought by some to derive from the Welsh words pen (head) and gwyn (white), applied to the Great Auk, which had a conspicuous white patch between the bill and the eye (although its head was fl), or from an island off Newfoundland known as "White Head" due to a large white rock.
