Today is #WorldPenguinDay2021 🐧 and to celebrate the occasion, we would like to share these pictures of #penguins in their #naturalhabitat #Falklands

The #Falklands has long been home to a variety of #penguin species. They are symbolic of the islands and who doesn’t love penguins? Keep your eyes peeled 👀 as we hashtag each letter of the word penguins with local pics. 🐧Falklands Conservation

The #Falklands are home to 5 types of #penguin – King, Gentoo, Magellanic, Macaroni, and Rockhopper with King penguins being the largest, and Rockhoppers being the smallest.

#Underwater penguin dives may last only 6 minutes, but interestingly, penguins can hold their breath for an average of 20 minutes! #Falklands

No trip to the #Falklands would be complete without a glimpse of the Rockhopper penguins on Kidney #Island. Rockhoppers earn their name from their ability to hop up steep cliffs with their feet together.

#Numbers of penguins in the #Falklands can reach up to a million every summer, that’s over 300 times the population of the Falklands.
