15 Penguins Penguins are birds with black and white feathers and a funny waddle. But unlike most birds, penguins are not able to fly.

16 Penguins leap into the air to get a big breath before diving back into the water. They can hold their breath for a long time.

17 Penguins spend as much as 75% of their time underwater, searching for food in the ocean.

18 Here is a penguin feeding her baby…

19 Penguins dive off cliffs and ice flows into the water, hop back up onto the land and dive down again. Line-ups for good diving spots can get very long!

20 Penguins lie on their belly and toboggan through the ice and snow. This helps them move quickly

21 Penguins are often seen surfing through the waves onto land

22 Penguins often need help to stay warm. You'll often see groups of penguins huddled shoulder to shoulder with their wings tight against their body keeping each other warm BRRRR !
