PENGUINS
( Peruvian penguins )

Spheniscus humboldti

Humboldt penguins weigh about 9.2 pounds and are about 25.6 inches tall. They live on the coasts of Peru and Chile. They eat crustaceans and small fish. Humboldt penguins have a broad black band that runs in an inverted horseshoe shape around their fronts. The chest is dotted with a few black spots in a random pattern. Humboldt penguins breed all year round on the west coast of South America. Nests are well excavated burrows. Two eggs are usually laid. Their predators are skuas and gulls.
