Penguin Facts
For all penguin lovers, here are some penguin facts you should know.
Penguins can’t fly
Penguins are great swimmers but are birds that cannot fly. They swim under the water at high speed. Due to their body structure, their wings morphed into flippers causes them to waddle on land.
Sleeping at sea
If you watch documentaries, you will see penguins sleep at the seaside. This is because there are lots of predators lurking around, and this is dangerous to them. They feel safer at the seaside.
Devoted Parents
Baby penguins have 2 devoted parents. Their fathers are involved in the hatching process and also taking care of baby penguins. Unlike most bird species, their fathers are not involved but not in the case of penguins. In penguins, both the mother and father take turns to warm the eggs before it is hatched, and they search for food.
Penguin Gland
They spend almost all their time in the sea (ocean); as such, they are always swallowing seawater. God created them with a special gland behind their beak. The gland helps them in filtering out the salt from the water.
Sign Language
Penguins, like other animals, communicate with one another. In a group, they communicate by waving their flipper and moving their heads.
