01-FEB-2009 ChinStrap Penguin

Before and After

The chinstrap penguins often live on large icebergs in the open ocean. This penguin is classified as nekton. The average size and weight of this penguin is 9 pounds, and 27 inches. They live in the barren islands of the sub-Antarctic Region and the Antarctic Peninsula. The chinstrap penguin eats mostly krill and some fish, while they are mainly eaten by leopard seals. There are about 12 to 13 million chinstrap penguins. They got their name from the thin line of black feathers under their chin. Their life span is 15-20 years.
