At the end of 2009, Entertainment Weekly put it on its end-of-the-decade "best-of" list, saying, "Whether they were walking (March of the Penguins), dancing (Happy Feet), or hanging ten (Surf's Up), these oddly adorable birds took flight at the box office all decade long." [103] A video game called Pengo was released by Sega in 1982. Set in ...
In the more extreme areas of the mainland, such as the cold deserts, food webs are sometimes restricted to three nematode species, only one of which is a predator. [13] Many invertebrates on the subantarctic islands can live in subzero temperatures without freezing, whereas those on the mainland can survive being frozen. [14]
King penguins mainly eat lanternfish, squid, and krill. On foraging trips, king penguins repeatedly dive to over 100 metres (300 ft), and have been recorded at depths greater than 300 metres (1,000 ft). [2] Predators of the king penguin include giant petrels, skuas, the snowy sheathbill, the leopard seal, and the orca.
Penguins evolved their wing structure to become more efficient underwater at the cost of their efficiency in the air. [ 28 ] The only known species of flightless bird in which wings completely disappeared was the gigantic, herbivorous moa of New Zealand , hunted to extinction by humans by the 15th century.
The reduction of competition from these predators has resulted in a surplus of krill, which the penguins now exploit as an easier source of food. [ 35 ] Jellyfish including species in the genera Chrysaora and Cyanea were found to be actively sought-out food items, while they previously had been thought to be only accidentally ingested.
Researchers analyzed genetic data of living and extinct penguin species. Their findings suggest global temperature changes drove penguin evolution.

Approximately 494,500 breeding pairs are thought to live on the island, 500 of which are king penguins. [1] Five other species have been recorded, but do not have a breeding population. [4] The largest breeding population of black-browed albatross is found on the islands, [1] making up over 80% of the world's black-browed albatross population. [16]
