Penguins


Those little flightless, underwater swimming birds, the penguins. They have been depicted wearing tuxedos and as espionage spies in the movie Madagascar. Other than they live at the south pole what do we know about them? Here is some trivia about penguins:


  • Not all penguins live in the cold Antarctic area. One penguin species lives near the equator.
  • The Emperor penguin is the largest of the penguins and stands about 3 foot tall.
  • The Emperor penguin has been recorded to reach a diving depth of 1800+ feet that took 22 minutes.
