Penguins

Penguins are a group

of aquatic, flightless birds living in the Southern

Hemisphere, especially in Antarctica. Highly

adapted for life in the water, penguins

have countershaded dark and white plumage,

and their wings have evolved into flippers. Most

penguins feed on krill, fish, squid and other

forms of sealife caught while swimming

underwater. They spend about half of their lives

on land and half in the oceans.

Penguins are popular around the world,

primarily for their unusually upright,

waddling gait and (compared to other birds)

lack of fear of humans. Their striking black-

and-white plumage is often likened to

a white tie suit.
