Penguin Social Structure - There is no denying that penguins are the most social types of birds out there. You can tell just by watching them in their colonies that they thrive on the interactions they have with each other. Yet they are very independent as well, creating their own burrows and piece of privacy for themselves. They often hunt together too which makes it easier for them to reduce the attacks from predators around them. (…)
Penguins don’t have leaders of the colony which is surprising to many people. However, there is plenty of evidence to show that there are some which are more dominate than others in the group. For example one penguin can do a certain action and most of the colony will follow along. However, when another penguin in the group does something no one really follows along. This is very interesting and something that many researchers want to understand in better detail. penguins-world.com
