Comments
About 3000 pairs of Gentoo Penguins live at Petermann Island. When underwater, they are the fastest swimming penguins. The young chicks gather into groups called crèches. The young chicks recognize the call of their parents and reply to it to get their food. Ce sont les manchots qui nagent le plus rapidement sous l'eau.
