What is a Penguin?
Penguins are flightless birds that live in the Southern Hemisphere, especially in icy places like Antarctica. They have smooth feathers, strong flippers, and waddle on land while gliding gracefully through the water. Most penguins weigh between 2 and 90 pounds (1 to 40 kilograms), depending on the species, and they can live up to 20 years in the wild. Penguins eat fish, squid, and krill, and they use their sharp beaks to catch food underwater. They are great swimmers and stay warm with a thick layer of blubber and tightly packed feathers. Penguins live in large groups called colonies, and many take turns keeping their eggs warm on their feet while snuggled in their fluffy bellies. These charming birds are clever, curious, and full of character.
