The Chinstrap Penguin is a kind of penguins and its name stems from the narrow black band under its head, which makes it appear as if it were wearing a black helmet. The Russians also call them as Police Penguin. It is very interesting that the Chinstrap Penguin takes a nap for about 4 seconds each time. But they will take such kind of nap for at least 10000 times everyday. Namely their total sleeping time can be over 11 hours everyday

@youless That's only in winter. They don't sleep for long in summer. I had pet cats that left the house gradually.
