Bill, flipper and body-mass measurements for 344 Adélie, Chinstrap and Gentoo penguins from Antarctica.

About

Size measurements for three penguin species observed on three islands in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica, between 2007 and 2009. A popular modern alternative to Iris: it has a similar shape but real-world quirks such as missing values.

Columns: species, island, bill_length_mm, bill_depth_mm, flipper_length_mm, body_mass_g, sex, year. Missing values are written as NA (11 rows have no sex).
