Adelie Penguin Trivia:

• Adelies are the smallest and most widely distributed penguins in the Antarctic.
• The Adelie penguin is the characteristic "tuxedo" penguin of Antarctica.
• Named after the wife of the French explorer Admiral Durmont d' Urville, the Adelie is also the most commonly studied of all the penguin species.
• In winter, Adelies stay at sea, resting on pack ice and icebergs in groups.
  Adelie penguins can dive up to 500 feet for prey, but usually dives are much shallower.
• There is fierce competition among penguins for nesting sites, especially on the higher well-drained ground -- stealing pebbles from neighboring birds' nests is a favorite pastime.
