Macaroni Penguin

Macaroni Penguins live in the Sub-Antarctic. The crest of the Macaroni penguin is orange. There is a thick stripe of orange on the forehead. The crest hangs down the sides, long and drooping. It has red eyes and an orange beak. They are about 28 inches tall and weigh about 10 to 15 pounds.

This penguin was named by the early English explorers. In the mid 18th century, a young man who wore flashy feathers in his hat was called a "Macaroni". This is also the origin for the words to "Yankee Doodle" sung during the Revolutionary War to poke fun at the poorly dressed Continental Army. The English explorers thought the yellow feathers of this penguin was like a fancy young man called a "macaroni".
