	Penguin - ninemsn Encarta
		Penguins are grouped into 17 (or in some classifications, 16) species and 6 genera, most of which are found in Antarctica and on subantarctic islands.
		The largest species are the emperor penguin, which may attain a height of more than 120 cm (48 in), and the king penguin, from 91 to 97 cm (36 to 38 in) in height.
		The gentoo penguin raises its flippers and calls or bows in a manner peculiar to the male gentoo; the jackass penguin bows, shakes his head, and brays in a characteristic jackass-like call; and the courtship display and clear trumpeting of the king penguin are specific to that species.

	Penguin
		The smallest penguin species is the Little Penguin (also known as the Fairy Penguin), which is typically 35 to 40 cm tall and 1 kilogram.
		Diving penguins reach 6 to 12 km/h, though there are reports about velocities of 27 km/h (which are probably realistic in the case of precipitate flight).
		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".

		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.
		Penguins are popular around the world owing to their harmless nature, their upright stance for standing and walking, which humans find charming or comical, and their striking fl and white plumage that is often humorously likened to a tuxedo suit.
		Ted the penguin is a penguin of unknown age which inhabits the home of Ethan, Lucas and Scott in the Ctrl Alt Del (webcomic), ostensibly as the pet of Scott, the web-comic's Linux guru.

		In October 2000 the Southland Conservancy of the Department of Conservation (DoC) organised an expedition to the remote Snares Islands to census the breeding population of the islands endemic penguin, the Snares crested penguin.
		While the Snares crested penguin is not considered to be at risk, populations of other crested penguins in the sub-antarctic appear to be declining and information from the Snares was needed to see if any management actions were required.
		Snares crested penguins are synchronous breeders and our arrival had been timed to coincide with the end of egg laying, when the maximum number of pairs attempting breeding would be present.

	Eudyptes.Net - The Snares Islands
		The Snares Islands (or just 'Snares') are one of five subantarctic island groups that became UNESCO World Heritage in 1998, because of their unique flora and fauna.
		The Snares are considered as so called "minimum impact islands" meaning that landings are not permitted (not for tourists, not for scientists) unless the Department of Conservation did not issue a special permit.
		The Snares consist of one Main Island (North East Island) that is surrounded by several smaller islands and rocks (e.g.

	Eudyptes.Net - The Snares Islands
		The Snares Islands are in many ways unique islands: they feature boreal forest in an subantarctic environment, were in the past little affected by humans and are the habitat of several endemic animal and plant species.
		To learn about the variability of the penguins' reproductive outcome it is necessary to observe the breeding success over the next few years (how many eggs are laid each season, how many of these eggs produce chicks and how many of the chicks survive to fledge eventually).
		The adult penguins need to return to their nests regularly to feed their offspring and thus their foraging ranges are greatly reduced during the breeding period.

		But scientists say even penguins living thousands of miles from the nearest city are at risk from a new threat: global warming caused by human alterations to the atmosphere.

		Also, their crests are not as erect as those of the Erect-crested penguins and less elaborate than those of the Rockhopper penguins.
		As most penguin species do, they feed by shallow pursuit diving, using their webbed feet and strong flippers to propel them through the water at speeds up to 15 miles per hour.
