Penguins are a peculiar category of sea birds which can stand up straight and flat-footed like us. Do you know where these birds are found?
Penguins are found in Southern hemisphere. They live along the Antarctic continent and islands as well as on the cool Southern hemisphere coast of Africa, Australia, New Zealand and South America.
The wings of penguins have evolved into flippers. As a result, they cannot fly but they are excellent swimmers. They walk in a strange manner. In the earlier phase of evolution, they could fly like other birds. But over a period of time, their wings became very short. The reason is that penguins lived in the remote areas of Antarctica, where they had practically no enemies to attack them. So they lived safely in land and water without ever using their wings and in course of time their wings became very small. Penguins live in flocks. A single rookery may contain more than a million penguins. They feed on fish, squids and crustaceans.
