Chinstrap penguin inhabit islands southern pacific and antarctic

The chinstrap penguin is a species that inhabits a variety of islands in the Southern Pacific and Antarctic Oceans. They get their name from the narrow black line under their heads, making it appear as if they're wearing a helmet.

Due to harsh terrains in the areas they live in, getting in and out of the ocean to hunt can be a very tricky task. These penguins use a combination of powerful swimming and a strategy known as "tobogganing" to return safely from the water. Mixing these two allows them to propel themselves up steep slopes and rocky terrain by using the huge waves to boost them aboveground. 🌊
