The '''[[chinstrap penguin]]''' is a species of [[penguin]] which inhabits a variety of islands and shores in the Southern Pacific and the [[Southern Ocean|Antarctic Ocean]]. Its name derives from the narrow black band under its head which makes it appear as if it were wearing a black helmet, making it one of the most easily identified types of penguin. Other common names are "ringed penguin", "bearded penguin", and "stonecracker penguin" due to its harsh call.
'''[[Horus]]''' is one of the most significant ancient [[Egyptian religion|Egyptian deities]] who served many functions, most notably as god of kingship and the sky. He was worshipped from at least the late prehistoric Egypt until the Ptolemaic Kingdom and Roman Egypt. Different forms of Horus are recorded in history, and these are treated as distinct gods by Egyptologists.


The official mascot of [[Westarctica]], [[Sir Percival Waddlesworth]], is a chinstrap penguin.


This particular species was chosen because the [[emperor penguin]] is already in use for the official seal of [[Grand Duke Travis]] and His Royal Highness has previously expressed his fondness for chinstrap penguins, which he believes are cuter than the more plentiful [[Adélie penguin]]s.
