Three foods of penguins arekrill, fish, and squid. Some of the smaller penguins eat only krill. Krill is a tiny shrimp-like animal. Some of the larger penguins eat fish and squid, also. They find these foods in the waters around Antarctica. When penguins eat food while at sea, they store the food in a special place. When chicks are hungry, they reach into their parents' beaks to feed on the food the parents have regurgitated.

The more polar penguins such as the emperors and adelies eat a lot of krill as do any penguins south of the Antarctic Convergence. They also eat fish and squid. The more northerly penguins of New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and South America eat fish and squid, there are no krill in those waters. The largest penguin, the emperor eats krill but the smallest, the little penguin, doesn't.
