Development of foraging behaviour and evidence of extended parental care in the gentoo penguin (Pygoscelis papua)
approximately 2500 breeding pairs of gentoo penguins in Admiralty Bay, King George Island, South Shetland ... with extended parental provisioning, behaviours not observed in other Pygoscelis species. Chicks took ... adult foraging trips in both timing and duration. Behavioural observations confirmed that many chicks ... in the late afternoon to evening hours. We hypothesize that these behaviours not only provide the ...
