With flamboyant red-orange beaks, peach-coloured feet and white-feathered caps, the Gentoo Penguin stands out as one of the Antarctic species of penguins who call the Deep South home. These penguins typically stand 30in tall, weigh 12lbs and can live up to 15-20years old. They can certainly be resilient creatures and forever entertaining to watch if you have the chance to visit the Antarctic peninsula.
