Adelia

/əˈdiːliə/ noun

Definition

A genus of small seabirds related to auks that live in Antarctic and sub-Antarctic regions, diving deep to catch fish.

Etymology

Named from the Adélie Land region in Antarctica, which was named after Adélie, the wife of French explorer Jules Dumont d'Urville. The genus name commemorates the geographic location where these birds were first identified.

Kelly Says

Adelie penguins have white rings around their eyes that make them look perpetually startled, and they can dive deeper than 600 feet while hunting fish despite their tiny wings!
