Penguins are unusual birds. They can't fly. They have flippers. They swim under water. Here are some of the things we can see penguins do:

  • playing on the beach
  • jumping in and out of the water.
  • chasing other penguins,
  • sliding across the ice on their stomachs.
  • Swimming very fast (they are great swimmers!)
  • 'flying' though the water. They travel very fast.

Penguin Families

Penguins live together in groups. All the adult penguins help look after the all baby penguins.

Penguins live in cold places. They have thick layers of fat and feathers. This helps to keep their bodies warm.

Penguins love cold weather. In summer they get very hot. They keep cool by holding their wings away from their bodies.
