The Macaroni Penguin (Eudyptes chrysolophus) is a species of penguin found from the subantarctic to the Antarctic Peninsula One of six species of crasted penguin it is very closely related to the Royal Penguin, and some authorities consider the two to be a single species. It bears a distinctive yellow crest, and the face and upperparts are black and sharply delineated from the white underparts. Adults weigh on average 5.5 kg (12 lb) and are 70 cm (28 in) in length. The male and female are similar in appearance although the male is slightly larger with a relatively larger bill.
