Penguin



Penguins are a group of aquatic, flightless birds  living almost exclusively in the Southern Hemisphere. The largest species of penguin is called the Emperor Penguin which adults average about 3 feet 7 inches tall and weigh 75 pounds or more. The smallest species is the Little Blue Penguin which stands about 16 inches tall and weighs about 2.2 pounds. Most penguins feed on krill, fish, squid, and other forms of seafood. They spend half of their life on land ands half in the ocean.
Penguins seem to have no fear of humans. This may be because are no land predators in Antarctica for the penguins. Instead, penguins are at risk at sea from predators such as the leopard seal.
