King Penguin

The king penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus) is the second largest species of
penguin, smaller, but somewhat similar in appearance to the emperor penguin.
There are two subspecies: A. p. patagonicus and A. p. halli; patagonicus is
found in the South Atlantic and halli in the South Indian Ocean (at the
Kerguelen Islands, Crozet Island, Prince Edward Islands and Heard Island and
McDonald Islands) and at Macquarie Island. King penguins mainly eat
lanternfish, squid and krill. On foraging trips, king penguins repeatedly dive
to over 100 metres (300 ft), and have been recorded at depths greater than 300
metres (1,000 ft). Predators of the king penguin include giant petrels, skuas,
the snowy sheathbill, the leopard seal and the orca.
