Geoff's Gallery:   Macaroni Penguin (1/7)

SPHENISCIFORMES: Spheniscidae

Eudyptes chrysolophus  

Macaroni Penguins elsewhere in the world generally have a dark face whereas most Macquarie Island Macaroni Penguins have a pale face.

Juvenile Macaroni Penguins often have a dark face as in this photo but they lose it as they mature.

The Macquarie Island Macaroni Penguins are commonly known as Royal Penguins.
