Are these 2 species side by side?

  I think here are 2 species of penguins. The one in front is a Gentoo for me. The other penguins in the middle of the imgae are Adélie´s. I am right/is this possible?

  Dear Ischu40.
  You are correct. The set at the back are Adelies, and there is one Gentoo at the front near the bottom of the picture. If you could see to the left of these penguins you would see the set you asked about earlier: http://talk.penguinwatch.org/#/subjects/APZ00009ya So this Gentoo is not alone 😃 This picture is part of that same mixed colony on Petermann Island 😃 The people in the background (very distant) are walking back to the red hut shown in the other picture.
