The Galapagos Penguin is a small species of penguin found exclusively in the Galapagos Islands. It is the only penguin species that lives north of the equator. These penguins are characterized by their black and white plumage, with a distinctive band of white feathers that runs around their necks. They typically measure about 18 inches tall and weigh between 4 to 6 pounds. Galapagos Penguins primarily feed on small fish and crustaceans, which they catch while swimming. They are well adapted to their warm environment, often seen resting on rocks or swimming in the cool waters around the islands. Their population is vulnerable due to threats like climate change and introduced predators.
