[edit] In-game Decription
It looks like any other penguin, but it has a crest strap. It also lives in Africa. It perfers hot air and cold water. Some zoos put them outside. They love to roam on the boats deck.They usually lay two eggs, the first of which is slightly larger. Much smaller eggs are laid at the same time as normal ones, but these are unfertilized and will not hatch.There is a period known as the 'molting period' in which they shed their plumage. During this time, it is very easy for their body temperatures to drop making retrieving food impossible. They take refuge on the shore and, to avoid dying of starvation, eat large amounts before this period starts. It takes around eighteen days to re-grow their plumage, and the average bird loses 150g a day."
