Adelie Penguin

By Gracie, Cody, Hannah

• Adelie penguins are the most common penguins. They have sharp and pointy feathers.

• They have white rings around each eye, white stomachs and black backs. Adelie penguins are 11 inches tall. They weigh 8 or 9 pounds. The top of their head is called a crown.

• No penguin breeds further south then the Adelie penguin. Colonies very in size and can have 400 or 40,000 penguins. Penguins like to live together.

• A baby penguin is called a chick. It takes at least two months to hatch. They keep their babies warm in a pouch.

• They take turns in the middle of the huddle to keep warm. They still walk when there is a blizzard outside.

• We really had fun researching the Adelie Penguin!
