Gentoo Penguins are the least abundant species of penguins on the subarctic islands. They are also better at raising chicks. They raise 2 chicks more than any other penguin. Gentoo penguins also have the honor of being distinguished as being fastest swimming birds. They can reach speeds of 25 mph while swimming! That’s fast enough to make you wonder if they have overdosed on phentermine! Gentoo penguin populations were declining due to human predation and loss of habitat. However, due to conservation efforts, their populations have become stable.
