Difference between adults & chicks

  • IsabellaAitken by IsabellaAitken

    Hi,
    What's the difference between adults and chicks? I saw some penguins that looked a little smaller but were also black and white. Are those considered chicks or adults?

    Thanks. Isabella.

    I'm sorry, I've been travelling the whole day. I'll get back to your questions as soon as I get to my computer again.

    Here are the basic differences between adults and chicks for each of the species you can see in these pictures in short: CLICK HERE (look at the comments below the image).

    Here is my older answer to the question how to mark penguins when you're not sure whether they're adults or chicks: CLICK HERE.

    Hopefully that answers your questions. If not, let me know please and I'll try better:)
