Why it matters
The Gentoo penguin is easily identified by its distinctive white bonnet marking and long, pointed tail, which it uses to sweep the snow during nest building. As the fastest underwater swimmers among all penguin species, they are a fascinating subject for those studying the adaptations of Antarctic wildlife.
