Penguins!
Penguins are one of the most interesting animals ever! They are excellent swimmers and are super cute!
Some fun facts about Penguins:
- No penguins live at the North Pole.
- Emperor Penguins can stay underwater for around 20 minutes at a time
- King Penguins are the second largest penguin species. They have four layers of feathers to help keep them warm on the cold subantarctic islands where they breed.
- A Penguin’s black and white plumage serves as camouflage while swimming. The black plumage on their back is hard to see from above, while the white plumage on their front looks like the sun reflecting off the surface of the water when seen from below.
- Penguins spend around half their time in water and the other half on land.
