Comments

Found in the Sub Antarctic to the Antarctic peninsula, the Macaroni is one of the six species of crested penguins. The Macaroni Penguin has the largest population of all penguins, but in the Falklands occur in very small numbers and best amongst Rockhopper colonies in the Islands. Like all penguins it is flightless, with a streamlined body and wings stiffened and flattened into flippers for a marine lifestyle.
