- Gentoo penguins live on many of the islands of the Antarctic region but the main colony is on the Falklands.
- They are about 3 feet tall and weigh about 13 pounds.
- Their diet consists of krill and some small fish.
- Gentoo penguins are easily identifiable by the wide white stripe over the top of their head. It runs from one eye to the other.
- Gentoo penguins make nests on the inland grasslands. They pile stones, grass and sticks to create a circular nest. Like the Adelies and Chinstrap penguins, the Gentoo will also fight over stones for nesting.
