Gentoo penguin-Chilean Antarctica

Recently, a photographer has spotted an extremely rare all-white Gentoo penguin in Chilean Antarctica.

Gentoo penguin

It is exclusively found in the Southern Hemisphere between 45 and 65 degrees south latitude.

Within this range, gentoos are found on the Antarctic Peninsula as well as many sub-Antarctic islands.
One of the most predominant locations gentoos inhabit is the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic Ocean.

Habitat: Gentoo penguins typically are found along the shoreline. This allows the penguins to be able to quickly access food while remaining close to their nest.

The major difference between gentoo penguins and other penguin species are their head markings.
Gentoos feature two white wedges around their eyes that are connected by a medium-sized line across the tops of their heads.
Their heads are mostly covered in black feathers but small flecks of white feathers can also be found.
Conservation Status
- IUCN Red List: Least Concern

Falkland Islands?

It is an internally self-governing overseas territory of the United Kingdom in the South Atlantic Ocean. It lies about 300 miles (480 km) northeast of the southern tip of South America and a similar distance east of the Strait of Magellan.
