Royal Penguins
By Vickie Chao |

1 At a first glance, the royal and the macaroni penguins are like twins. They both stand up to about 28 inches tall. They both have reddish-brown eyes, orange beaks, and pink webbed feet. They both wear the standard penguin uniform -- a black and white feathery tuxedo. And they both have crests or long streaks of feathers in yellow, orange, and black above their eyes and on the tops of their heads. The only apparent difference between these two flightless birds is the color of their chins. Royal penguins' chins are white or pale gray, whereas macaroni penguins' are black.
