Adélie penguins live on the Antarctic continent and on small, surrounding coastal islands. Adélies feed on tiny aquatic creatures, such as shrimp-like krill, but also eat fish and squid. Sleek and efficient swimmers, they may travel 185 miles round-trip (about 300 kilometres) to procure a meal. Once on land, Adélies build nests and line them with small stones. Adult Adélie penguins are known to steal stones from their neighbours' nests. FACT
