Gentoo penguin and chick. Gentoo penguins (Pygoscelis papua) live in large colonies on Antarctic islands. They feed on plankton, fish and cephalopods (such as squid), and have an elongated beak that allow them to take larger prey than any other penguin. Photographed off the Antarctic Peninsula, Antarctica.
