Galapagos Penguins

This pair of Galapagos Penguins was on Bartholeme Island. The penguin family experiences the greatest range of temperatures of any bird family. This is the rarest penguin species in the world, with fewer than 1,000 breeding pairs. Penguins in the Antarctic often have feathers covering part of their bill so that they can retain heat better. These Galapagos Penguins have large bills which allow them to more effectively get rid of heat.
