Penguins


Picture
Many penguins live in Antarctica. The average summer temperature is -17 degrees!!! The average winter temperature is -76 degrees! That's 76 degrees below zero! 
Penguins huddle together to stay warm in these very cold temperatures.

Penguins swim to catch fish to eat. They are the fastest seabirds in the world. Instead of wings, they have flippers to help them swim fast. This is why they can't fly.

undefined on Disney Video
Penguins eat fish, krill, and squid. 

There are 17 types of penguins. They live all over the world. Some have silly names, such as the macaroni penguin, the royal penguin, the little penguin, and the rockhopper penguin.
