Gentoo penguins live in the islands around Antarctica and spend a lot of time in the water foraging for food, which makes them hard to access. So, scientists randomly captured 26 penguins and used ...

Gentoo penguins normally feed near the seabed, ... The research is part of a long-term effort by WCS and their collaborators to study the food and space needs of penguins and help protect them.

Gentoo penguins make their nests from rocks and other materials they can find in the Antarctic landscape. They'll dive up to 500 times a day in search for food.
