Couldn't see it in article[edit]

What is their average life span in the wild and in captivity?RafikiSykes (talk) 13:27, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The following is excerpted from the article: "King Penguins noot noot on subantarctic islands..."

Please clarify what "noot noot" means... or if this is spam, please fix it; students of science (such as myself) are no doubt perplexed by this verb — Preceding unsigned comment added by Goldenknitter (talk • contribs) 20:49, 16 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The world's largest king penguin colony has collapsed, losing nearly 90 per cent of its population[edit]

Is it worth including some text on the page about the colony collapse circa 2018?

The article mentions possible reclassification of vulnerability status, I am not knowlageable on the subject, is anyone else willing to chime in?

This was my source, however a paper was published in "Antarctic Science".

King Penguin[edit]

Contradiction in whether the king penguin is monotypic[edit]

The taxonomy section states that the king penguin is monotypic and has no subspecies. However, the introduction to this article, as well as the page for the Aptenodytes genus, state that there are two subspecies of king penguin: Aptenodytes patagonicus patagonicus in the South Atlantic Ocean and Aptenodytes patagonicus halli in the South Indian Ocean. Should this statement be removed from the taxonomy section, or is there some other detail here that needs to be clarified? RedKnight7146 (talk) 02:59, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
