The long-tailed gentoo penguin is a penguin species in the genus Pygoscelis, most closely associated with the Adélie penguin and the chinstrap penguin. The first scientific description was made in 1781 by Johann Reinhold Forster with a reference point of the Falkland Islands. They call in a variety of ways, but the most frequently heard is a loud trumpeting which is emitted with its head thrown back.[
