The '''[[ | The '''[[king penguin]]''' is a large species of [[penguin]], second only to the [[emperor penguin]] in size. | ||
King penguins eat small fish, mainly lanternfish, and squid. They are less reliant on [[krill]] and other crustaceans than most [[Southern Ocean]] predators. On foraging trips king penguins repeatedly dive to over 100 meters (300 ft), and have been recorded at depths greater than 300 metres (1,000 ft). | |||
<p><small>Photographer: | King penguins breed on the subantarctic islands at the northern reaches of Antarctica, South Georgia, and other temperate islands of the region. King penguins do not live or breed in [[Westarctica]]. | ||
