King Penguin Aptenodytes patagonicus
King Penguins are the second largest penguins (after the Emperor) at some 90 cm tall. They have pretty orange earmuffs.
They live on Antarctic islands south of South America such as the Falklands and South Georgia;
they are extinct from mainland Patagonia after which they were named (killed by human seal hunters).
