No penguin lives on the continent of Antarctica. Penguins are sea birds and their homes are in the sea.Penguin populations are only educated guesses, because of the mysteries that remain about their lives in the sea.International Penguin Conservation Work group estimates these numbers of breeding pairs of penguins in 'Antarctica' -- meaning the Southern Ocean which surrounds the continent:2,500,000 pairs of Chinstrap Penguin (Pygoscelis antarctica)2,300,000 pairs of Adelie Penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae)220,000 pairs of Emperor Penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri)50,000 pairs of Gentoo Penguin (Pygoscelis papua)10,000 pairs of Macaroni Penguin (Eudyptes chrysolophus)Please note there is no date on these estimates.
There are 17 types (species) of penguins. They are: Adelie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae) African penguins (Spheniscus demersus) Chinstrap penguins (Pygoscelis antarctica) Emperor penguins (Aptenodytes forsteri) Erect-crested penguins (Eudyptes sclateri) Fiordland penguins (Eudyptes pachyrhynchus) Galapagos penguins (Spheniscus mendiculus) Gentoo penguins (Pygoscelis papua) Humboldt penguins (Spheniscus humboldti) King penguins (Aptenodytes patagonicus ) Little (Blue) penguins (Eudyptula minor) Macaroni penguins (Eudyptes chrysolophus) Magellanic penguins (Spheniscus magellanicus) Rockhopper penguins (Eudyptes chrysocome) Royal penguins (Eudyptes schlegeli) Snares penguins (Eudyptes robustus) Yellow-eyed penguins (Megadyptes antipodes)
its the Adelie Penguin, and i believe its Pygoscelis adeliae
Adelie penguins rank as species with a higher classification of Pygoscelis.
it just depends on the species of the penguin you are talking about. there are 17 different species. Answer Eudyptula minor Eudyptula albosignata Eudyptes chrysocome Pygoscelis papua Aptonodytes patagonicus Aptonodytes forsteri Spheniscus demersus SPheniscus magellanicus The most common answer you will find is Aptenodytes fosteri, however this is the cientific name for the Emperor Penguin only (Aptenodytes being the genre and Fosteri the species, actually fosteri grey). This is the answer given to previous similar questions to yours. Other Penguin scientific names: Pingüino Rey or King Penguin's scientific name would be Aptenodytes patagonica; Blue Penguin would be Eudyptula minor; yellow-eyed penguin's name is Megadyptes antipodes. The other six species that have feather crests and yellow feathers on both sides of their heads are part of the Eudyptes genre. Genu Penguin is Pygoscelis papua; Adelia penguin is Pygoscelis adeliae; the El Cabo Penguin is Spheniscus demersus;the Galapagos Penguin is Galápagos Spheniscus mendiculus, and the Humboldt Penguin is Sphenicus humboldti.
