(1) The ontogeny of thermoregulation and energy metabolism of chinstrap (Pygoscelis antarctica) and gentoo (P. papua) penguins was studied on King George Island, South Shetland Island, Antarctica.
(2) On the 15th day after hatching, chinstrap chicks were completely, and gentoo chicks almost completely, homeothermic.
(3) Differential leucocyte counts were obtained for three cogeneric species of wild antarctic penguins, Pygoscelis adelie (adelie), Pygoscelis papua (gentoo), and Pygoscelis antarctica (chinstrap).
(4) Macaroni penguins do not breed until 6-8 years of age whereas gentoo penguins first breed at 2 years of age.
(5) Blood glucose partition was established by assaying whole blood and plasma glucose in several individuals of the gentoo and chinstrap penguins.
(6) Newly hatched chinstrap penguin chicks had, at a specified ambient temperature, significantly higher metabolic rates than newly hatched gentoos.

(10) Changes in plasma luteinizing hormone (LH), testosterone, oestradiol, and progesterone were measured throughout the breeding and molt cycle in free-living male and female macaroni (Eudyptes chrysolophus) and gentoo (Pygoscelis papua) penguins, at Bird Island, South Georgia (54 degrees S, 38 degrees W).

(13) Plasma LH was elevated in 3- to 5-year-old macaroni penguins, but not in 1- to 2-year-old birds nor 1-year-old gentoos.
(14) Photograph: Gentoo The success of the pilot in improving health and cutting NHS costs has attracted interest from other clinical commissioning groups in the North East and in setting up schemes to enable GPs to prescribe energy efficiency across the country.
(15) The major findings of this study are: Chinstrap and gentoo penguin chicks hatched completely poikilothermic, due to their poor heat-production ability at low ambient temperatures.
(16) Plasma levels of LH, testosterone, estradiol, and progesterone were measured, during the breeding season, in adult and immature macaroni (Eudyptes chrysolophus) and gentoo (Pygoscelis papua) penguins, at Bird Island, South Georgia (54 degrees S, 38 degrees W), in relation to deferred sexual maturity.
(17) Plasma alpha-tocopherol, total lipid and total cholesterol concentrations in post moult gentoo (Pygoscelis papua) chicks were similar to those in non-moulting adult gentoos.
(18) The big challenge now is to replicate this across the UK.” The idea for the trial began after Gentoo social housing and sustainability group , which has 28,500 homes in Sunderland, noticed that tenants said they felt happier after their homes were made more energy efficient.
(19) Only one housing association, Gentoo in Sunderland, has so far announced it will be forced to make redundancies but it said none of its staff members were involved in PMQs .
(20) Gentoo contacted Sunderland’s clinical commissioning group, which agreed to provide £50,000 for a proper trial.
Penguin
Definition:
(n.) Any bird of the order Impennes, or Ptilopteri. They are covered with short, thick feathers, almost scalelike on the wings, which are without true quills. They are unable to fly, but use their wings to aid in diving, in which they are very expert. See King penguin, under Jackass.
(n.) The egg-shaped fleshy fruit of a West Indian plant (Bromelia Pinguin) of the Pineapple family; also, the plant itself, which has rigid, pointed, and spiny-toothed leaves, and is used for hedges.
