Wild diet: Anchovies, Sardine, Herring and occasionally Squid.

Feeding strategy: During breeding season they will dive close to the colony (around 5-20 miles) and hunt in small groups. They will attack from below the school to prevent being seen. Humboldt’s in Chile were observed to have two behaviours; short dives (bird’s would remain within about a metre of the surface) and bounce dives (penguins would dive to the seabed and immediately return to the surface)

Wild weight ranges: 4-5kg
