Adelie Penguins


By Eskimo M - Posted on 28 January 2010

Adelie Penguins feed on tiny aquatic creatures such as shrimp-likekrill, Fish, and squid. Once on land, they build nest with small stones. When the female has a egg, the parents take turns sitting on it and make sure that it stays warm. During the Spring breeding season in October, they take to the Rocky Antarctic coastline were they live in communities called colonies.

The Adelie Penguin is a bird, and they are carnivorous. They can live up to 20 years. Their weight is 8.5 to 12 lbs.
