Galapagos Penguins
We are the Galapagos Penguins and live in the Galapagos islands which is a coastal dessert.Us Galapagos penguins travel together in colonies and are considered pack animals.My species are one of the smallest type of penguins in the world ,and there are under 1600 pairs of our kind left.
95% of the estimated 2000 of my species live on the 2 westernmost islands of Isabela and Fernandina leaving the other 5% on the other Galapagos Islands of Bartolomé, Santiago, Logie and Floreana. My population has an s curve when it comes to population growth because we have reached our carrying capacity or highest amount of penguins able to live here on the islands.We have reached this hault in population growth due to lack of food.
