To our knowledge there are no studies concerning UV-B effects on penguins. As their eyes are exposed to a lot of UV due to the high reflectivity of snow and a marked enhancement during the ozone hole, investigation into the impact on penguins is desirable. The fact that penguins are visual predators, eating krill or fish in the water column, would make any eye damage an important issue for survival.

No. This flightless, aquatic bird is native to the Southern Circumpolar Region, only a short 10,000 miles to the south.

Yes, but sociable within their own family group (clan). Adolescent males will leave their birth setts at a year old to establish new territories and look for mates from other social groups. Fights (almost always between two males or two females) can cause severe injuries, typically to the neck and back, just above the tail. There is normally a clear 'pecking order' within a social group.

Christianity in its early history did not aim at setting up a state, whereas Islam, from the very beginning was a politico-religious institution." No amount of goodwill [on our part] is capable of changing Islamic theology and its inherent political ambition of world conquest".

No. Penguins, like all other birds, do not have teeth. The chicks do have an egg tooth, but this is not a real tooth, but rather a sharp bump on the top surface of the bill which is used to break the egg when hatching. Penguins do have rearward-pointing, tooth-like barbs on the tongue and roof of the mouth. These are not used for chewing, but instead assist in the swallowing of their slippery prey.

Yes, penguin ears are in the same place as ours. The only difference is that they have no external ear (the fleshy bit that sticks out the side of your head) and that the opening is covered by feathers.

CI: You would have to be fluent in Penguinese to understand the subtle inflections that differentiate their names. To human ears, they are all named "Waark".

Yes, provided that there is actuarial support for classifying these territories. Insurers also need to make sure that they’ve met the appropriate filing, and in some cases, approval process.

Most species have an average life expectancy of about 10 years, although some individuals occasionally live for up to 25 years. The graph to the right plots the age of flipper-banded yellow-eyed penguins at either death or the last live recovery. 40% of all chicks banded are never recovered and are presumed dead.

The strategy of having a dark dorsal (upper) surface and a white ventral (lower) surface is one that has been adopted by many marine animals. Predators looking down see the penguin as a dark shape on a dark background and predators looking up see a light shape on a light background - the most effective camoflage for an animal that spends most of its time at or near the surface.

Penguins store food in their stomachs and it is regurgitated to the chicks. The adults do not feed each other and may stay ahore without feeding for many days.

Leave: the Gentoo penguins start to leave O'Higgins when the sea ice starts to build. This date differs each year. 2004 the last Gentoos were seen in early May. The main brood season is from November until February, but even this can differ from year to year.
