Adélie penguins, Antarctica
Description
What can a 70-centimetre-tall bird teach us about life?
Quite a lot.
The Adélie penguin offers a lesson plan packed with resourcefulness, resilience and a little mischief.
Found along the Antarctic coast, the species was named after Adèle, the wife of French explorer Jules Dumont d'Urville, during the expedition that encountered the penguins in 1840.
