Adélie Penguin on an Antarctic Nesting Site
An Adélie penguin rests beside a pebble nest on a rocky slope in Antarctica. Cold surroundings with icy slopes and scattered stones mark the habitat where these sea birds rear their young during the polar summer.
Interesting Facts About Adélie Penguins
Adélie penguins are known for stealing stones from neighboring nests to build their own elevated pebble mounds. This behavior helps keep their eggs dry when the surrounding ice melts during warmer days. These birds walk long distances across frozen ground each year to return to the exact same breeding colony.
