Vista frontal de la cabeza del pingüino Rey (Aptenodytes patagonicus).
Aptenodytes patagonicus, King Penguin. Large, penguin that is rarely seen away from well-known colony sites. Found in the South Atlantic and the South Indian Ocean at places such as the Kerguelen Islands, Crozet Island, Prince Edward Islands and at Macquarie Island. They mainly eat lanternfish, squid and krill. They repeatedly dive to over 100 metres, and have been recorded at depths greater than 300 metres. Breeding season requires more than a year, so birds can be seen year-round at colonies.
Newly hatched King penguin chicks (Aptenodytes patagonicus, the 2nd largest penguin species) are covered with fine brown downy feathers. They are called 'oakum boys' because their fluffy feathers resemble oakum, flax fibres drenched in pine tar, that clung to the boys who used them to caulk timbers on sailing ships. Since these feathers are not waterproof, they must stay out of the water. This one, caught by a rogue wave, is looking completely woebegotten. Gold Harbour, South Georgia Island. Taken several years ago during a tour of the Falkland Islands, South Georgia Island, the sub-Antarctic Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula.

Pingüino azul (Eudyptula minor) Los pingüinos azules (Eudyptula minor), conocidos también como pingüinos pequeños o pingüino del hada, son la especie de pingüinos más pequeña y viven en las costas de Nueva Zelanda y las islas Chatham, al igual que en el sur de Australia y Tasmania. También se han visto en la chilena isla Chañaral en 1996, en la playa de Santo Domingo (el 16 de marzo de 1997), pero no está claro si estas aves se habían extraviado.
Los pingüinos azules (Eudyptula minor) Los pingüinos azules suelen volver a sus colonias para alimentar a sus polluelos al anochecer; tienden a salir del mar en grupos pequeños para tener alguna defensa contra algunos depredadores que atacan a presas individuales.
