Penguins are a species of flightless bird that live primarily in the southern hemisphere. The like to chow down on a seafood diet of krill, squid and fish. Although they are flightless, their wings function as flippers and they are pretty sweet swimmers! They spend about half their life in the water!
There are many different types of penguins though, which means they vary in height and weight. This usually depends on geographical location with the general rule being; the closer to the antarctic, the bigger the penguin.
Penguins have distinctive black and white feathers, the feathers offer them incredible insulation while also making them look pretty stylish and camouflaged.
Hope this satisfies your taste for penguin knowledge ;)
Until next time!
