I solved the problem with the help of my good gentleman friend Lord Cattington Smythe. I hope you don't find his views too controversial, he is a loose cannon. Very much of the old school!

1 . Generally, penguins are not sexually dimorphic; males and females look alike. Crested penguins are exceptions: the males are more robust and have larger bills (del Hoyo, et al., 1992).
2. During the breeding season, female penguins are sometimes identifiable by muddy footprints on their backs, left by males during mating activity. A. Size 1. The emperor penguin is the largest of all living penguins, standing 1.1 m (3.7 ft.) and weighing 27 to 41 kg (60-90 lb.). 2. The smallest of the penguins is the fairy penguin, standing just 41 cm (16 in.) and weighing about 1 kg (2.2 lb.). For a complete listing of sizes by species, see the Appendix. B. Body shape 1 .The penguin body is fusiform and streamlined, adapted for swimming (del Hoyo, et al., 1992). A penguin has a large head, short neck, and elongated body. 2. The tail is short and wedge-shaped (Marchant, 1990). 3. The legs and webbed feet are set far back on the body, which causes penguins to stand upright when on land (Marchant, 1990). C. Coloration 1. All adult penguins are countershaded; that is they are dark on their dorsal (back) surfaces and white on their ventral (underside) surfaces. The dark dorsal side blends in with the dark ocean depths when viewed from above. The light ventral side blends in with the lighter surface of the sea when viewed from below. The result is that predators or prey do not see a contrast between the countershaded animal and the environment. 2. Many species have distinct markings and coloration. a. The emperor has a black head, chin, and throat with broad yellow ear patches on the sides of the head (Marchant, 1990). b. The king penguin has a black head, chin, and throat with vivid orange, tear-shaped ear patches. The orange coloration extends to the upper chest (Marchant, 1990). c. The Adélie has a black head. Distinctive white eye rings appear during the breeding season (Marchant, 1990). d. The gentoo has a black head with white eyelids, and a distinct triangular white patch above each eye, usually extending over the head (Marchant, 1990). e. The top of a chinstrap's head is black and the face is white, with a stripe of black extending under the chin. f. The crested penguins (genus Eudyptes), such as the rockhopper and macaroni, are distinguished by orange or yellow feather crests on the sides of the head, above the eyes. g. The yellow-eyed penguin, as its name suggests, has yellow eyes and a stripe of pale yellow feathers extending over its dark head. h. The fairy penguin, also known as the little blue, has slate-blue to black feathers and a white chin and chest. i. Temperate penguins (genus Spheniscus), such as the Humboldt and Magellanic, have unfeathered fleshy areas on the face and one or two distinct black stripes across the chest. 3. Chicks, juveniles, and immature penguins may have slightly different markings than adults. Generally, they appear more drab. Adult markings take a year or longer to develop. |
