The King Penguin is a medium-sized sea bird from the Antarctic region. It is an adoptable animal in all three Wildlife Park games.

Description

At up to a metre (39 inches) tall, the king penguin is the second largest of the seventeen species of penguin, with only the closely related Emperor penguin being taller. Like all penguins, it possesses counter-shading plumage, dark on top and lighter underneath, for camouflage whilst swimming. The king penguin possesses orange-markings on its cheeks, beak and front that help distinguish it from the emperor penguin.

Like all penguins, the king penguin is adapted for an aquatic life, using its wings as flippers to swim through the ocean whilst hunting for fish and squid. It breeds in large colonies on islands around Antarctica in incubates its single egg on a special brood pouch for protection.

“

Latin name: Aptenodytes Patagonica. Like most penguin species, the king penguin is raised in huge colonies of several hundred or several thousand animals. Three isolating layers protect the king penguin against the harsh arctic climate. The top layer is formed by the waterproof feather coat with somewhat oily tips. Underneath is a layer with air, which separates the feathers from the thick layer of fat that is under the skin. The king penguin is strictly monogamous. A penguin couple is loyal to each other their whole life. This species is not endangered.
