Gentoo vs Adélie

    Do different species often cohabit the same niche?

    Hi @erik.abner

    Yes, there are a few mixed colonies being monitored and this is one of them. There are many more Gentoos just behind (and beside) the camera 😃 No need to report them. The scientists are aware of them. Just count them all as if they were the same species.

    Read the FAQs for the differences between adults and chicks for each species so you won't confused adult Adelies with Gentoo juveniles and so on 😃

    Thanks,

    Zuzi
