Adélie penguin

The Adélie penguin is a small, tuxedo-clad bird that lives all along Antarctica's icy shores. It's one of only two penguin species that brave the continent's deepest southern reaches. These penguins snack mostly on krill and fish, hunting them in the chilly waters.

• Named after Adélie Land, which honors a French explorer's wife.
• Shares the title of most southerly penguin with the emperor penguin.
• Catches meals by both chasing prey and scavenging for food.
