The Galapagos Penguin is a small species of penguin found exclusively on the Galapagos Islands. They are the only penguins that live north of the equator and are well adapted to the warm climate of the islands. These penguins typically measure about 18 to 20 inches in height and weigh between 4 to 6 pounds. Their distinctive black and white plumage helps them blend into their ocean environment. Galapagos Penguins primarily feed on small fish and crustaceans, which they catch while swimming. They are social birds, often seen in groups, and they nest in crevices or under rocks to protect their eggs from predators. Their population is vulnerable due to threats like climate change and introduced species.
