3-2-1 Penguins! is an American science fiction computer-animated Christian children's television series, initially launched on November 14, 2000 as a direct-to-video episode [2] by Big Idea Entertainment with videos released between 2000 and 2003.
King penguins mainly eat lanternfish, squid, and krill. On foraging trips, king penguins repeatedly dive to over 100 metres (300 ft), and have been recorded at depths greater than 300 metres (1,000 ft). [2] Predators of the king penguin include giant petrels, skuas, the snowy sheathbill, the leopard seal, and the orca.
Adult emperor penguins are 110–120 cm (43–47 in) in length, averaging 115 cm (45 in) according to Stonehouse (1975). Due to the method of bird measurement that measures length between bill to tail, sometimes body length and standing height are confused, and some reported height even reaching 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in) tall.

Nordenskjoeld's giant penguin was the tallest, growing nearly 1.80 meters (5.9 feet) tall. The New Zealand giant penguin was probably the heaviest, weighing 80 kilograms (180 lb) or more. Both were found on New Zealand, the former also in the Antarctic farther eastwards.
The average Galápagos penguin is 48–50 centimetres (19–20 in) tall and weighs around 2–4 kilograms (4.4–8.8 lb). [7] It is the second-smallest species of penguin, after the little penguin.
Magellanic penguins are medium-sized penguins which grow to be 61–76 cm (24–30 in) tall and weigh between 2.7 and 6.5 kg (6.0 and 14.3 lb). [3] The males are larger than the females, and the weight of both drops while the parents raise their young. Adults have black backs and white abdomens.
The duo was also found together outside of their usual breeding season, which according to the zoo is unique for Gentoo penguins. Gentoo penguin Sphen, right, at the SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium.
After reaching full growth, they are about 20 inches or 50 centimetres in height. [1] Males and females cannot be distinguished visually, so a DNA test is conducted by taking a feather from the bird to determine its gender. [2] Like many penguins, rockhopper penguins have a white belly and the rest of their body is black. [2]
