How do Penguins Communicate?

Penguins vocalizations are identifiable by each individual which allow parents to recognize each other and also their chick. This is very important to take care of their chick in a large populated colony where all are very similar. Also, communication es performed during courtship and mate selection.
 
Communication in penguins is not only performed through vocalization, they also perform a physical behavior called displays.
 
Three kinds of communications have been discovered in penguins.
 




1. The Contac Call. This is used to identify each other.

2. The Display Call. It is used between partners within a colony.

3. The Threat Call. It is used for warning.
