Penguins are unique (special or different) animals. There are 17 species of penguins. They are aquatic (related to water), flightless birds living throughout the world although most of them are found in the Southern hemisphere and especially in Antarctica. Most penguins can be found in these countries: New Zealand, Australia, Chile, Argentina, and South Africa. Penguins spend about half their time in water and the other half on land. They do not have wings like other birds. Penguins have flippers that they use to swim. Their black and white color serves as camouflage (hide or disguise themselves/merge with nature) as they swim under water. The white reflects and the black cannot be seen by predators. Emperor Penguins are the tallest species, standing nearly 4 feet tall. The smallest is the Little Blue Penguin, which is only about 16 inches.
Most penguins feed on krill, fish, squid and other forms of sea life that they catch while swimming underwater.

Penguin parents care for their young for several months until the chicks are strong enough to hunt for food on their own. These creatures are unique and fun to observe and learn about.
