Deepest Diving Penguin at Christopher Doyle blog

Deepest Diving Penguin. However, the deepest diving penguin is the world’s largest. Most dives last for between 3 and 6 minutes, but the emperor penguin can make longer dives: Emperor penguins can dive for almost 30 minutes on a single breath, and the record dive of a northern elephant seal is almost two hours! Emperor penguins (aptenodytes forsteri), the tallest and heaviest of all penguin species, hold the record for the deepest divers. They can, however, dive much deeper. The deepest ever recorded emperor penguin dive was 565m (1,854ft). The results are based on three emperor penguins and 50 dives, which ranged from 23 to 210 feet (7 to 64 meters) in depth, which lasted from 2.3 to 11.4 minutes. The deepest recorded gentoo penguin dive was 688 feet (210 meters) deep. The emperor penguin often alternates shallow dives of between 50 and 150m (165 and 495ft) with deeper ones. Emperor penguins are capable of diving to depths of approximately 550 metres (1,800 feet) in search of food; The longest on record is 22 minutes. Adults are coloured black and white with areas of orange and yellow on the head, neck, and breast. A mighty impressive effort for a bird that weighs only 1.5 kilograms.
