  • *Important Note about Penguin Data*

    The penguins make 1-5 day trips to get food for their chicks. After one trip, the scientists remove the tag and place it on a bird that is ready to leave.

    Each tag does not represent a different animal.

    To do your analysis and journals on these animals, you may wish to compare trips. Pay special attention to the sea ice and phytoplankton conditions.
