Learn about Chinstrap Penguins



Today in Room 5 we have been learning about four different types of penguins. Our group has been learning about Chinstrap
Penguins. Do you know that Chinstrap penguins weigh up to 9 to 14 lbs or 3.5 to 5 kgs and their height is 60cm to 72cm.
We found out that they build their nests with pebbles and stones and they make it as round and waterproof as they can. Their diet is fish, krill and ice. Their breeding season is from late December to early February. Sometimes they live on large icebergs to catch their food. They got their name because they have a black strip under their chin.
