Young penguins follow shoals of fish - they eat squid
and Antarctic krill.
Penguin chicks peck at their mothers' beaks which
makes the mothers bring up half digested fish. The baby puts its
head inside the mother's beak to eat. All penguins eat fish, anchovies,
sardines and squid. Penguins breed where there's food. Penguins
can travel at 25km per hour to catch their prey.
