Male-Male Penguin Relationships[edit]

While it is good to have the male-male penguin relationship note... is it really necessary to include the whole Daily Show segment? That sort of thing is not really that useful in a wikipedia entry.

Peter Island confusion[edit]

Out of curiousity, I followed the link in the article to Peter Island. The linked article refers to an island in the Caribbean: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Island

I assume there should be a disambiguation link, and that the Peter Island referred to in the Chinstrap Penguin article is not the one described in the linked article?

Colonies[edit]

It would be nice to have more information about the colonies they form. there is little information on the size, frequency, etc of the colonies. also, there is little more than a passing mention of the creches they form. 70.36.136.89 (talk) 23:00, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

File:South Shetland-2016-Deception Island–Chinstrap penguin (Pygoscelis antarctica) 04.jpg to appear as POTD soon[edit]

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:South Shetland-2016-Deception Island–Chinstrap penguin (Pygoscelis antarctica) 04.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on December 27, 2019. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2019-12-27.

Picture of the day

The chinstrap penguin (Pygoscelis antarcticus) is a species of penguin that inhabits land masses in the Southern Pacific and Antarctic Oceans. The bird's black back and white underparts provide camouflage in the form of countershading when viewed from above or below, helping it to avoid detection by its predators, which include the leopard seal, the southern giant petrel, the brown skua and the south polar skua. The chinstrap penguin grows to a length of 68–76 cm (27–30 in) and a weight of 3.2–5.3 kg (7.1–11.7 lb), with the weight varying with the time of year. Males are greater in weight and height than females.
