Early explorers thought penguins were fish instead of flightless birds.
Penguin's bodies are designed to swim underwater.
Penguins legs are located low on their bodies which means they walk in an upright manner.
Penguins often move by gliding on their stomachs on the ice.
Penguins eat fish, krill, crustaceans and squid.
Penguins breed in large, noisy colonies called "rookeries". They build their nests using rocks which they move one by one with their beaks. They usually incubate 1 or 2 eggs. Adult pairs take turns to keep the eggs warm and feed the chicks after they are hatched.
Penguin predators are seals and killer whales. Often their chicks are threatened by seabirds.
