'''[[ | The '''[[chinstrap penguin]]''' is a species of [[penguin]] which inhabits a variety of islands and shores in the Southern Pacific and the [[Southern Ocean|Antarctic Ocean]]. Its name derives from the narrow black band under its head which makes it appear as if it were wearing a black helmet, making it one of the most easily identified types of penguin. Other common names are "ringed penguin", "bearded penguin", and "stonecracker penguin" due to its harsh call. | ||
The official mascot of [[Westarctica]], [[Sir Percival Waddlesworth]], is a chinstrap penguin. | |||
<p><small>Photographer: | This particular species was chosen because the [[emperor penguin]] is already in use for the official seal of [[Grand Duke Travis]] and His Royal Highness has previously expressed his fondness for chinstrap penguins, which he believes are cuter than the more plentiful [[Adélie penguin]]s. | ||
