Peruvian Penguins

By Carson Davis

Peruvian penguins have trouble finding a suitable nesting place. They once built their nests in burrows in plentiful piles of dried guano. Guano is the excrement of thousands of generations of seabirds left along the South American coastline.

Peruvian penguins weigh about 9.3 pounds and are about 25.5 inches tall. They live in and off the coasts of Peru and Chile.

The Peruvian penguin got its name because it lives in Peru. Another name for the Peruvian penguin is the Humboldt penguin.

Peruvian penguins are in the Harlequin Penguins species. The other penguins in this species are African penguins, Magellanic penguins, and Galapagos penguins.

Ocean currents bring cold water from the Antarctic to the surface along the western coast of South America. Enormous schools of fish provide the main source of food for penguins that inhabit these waters.

Peruvian penguins lay two eggs. The parents keep their beaks open when they go out for food.

The end. It’s not actually the end.

Now it’s the end.
