The penguin is a bird, but it does not fly. Penguins are not like other birds. Other birds have rows of feathers that grow in a specific pattern. A penguin’s feathers grow all over, like hair on a mammal.
You will not see penguins in the air, and you will not see them in trees. You will see them in the water; in fact, you will see them below the surface of the water if you have an underwater video camera. The penguin is an ocean bird, living in and near the ocean. While the penguin is not a great flier it can out-swim most birds. The penguin has thick strong wings and flippers that it uses to push through the water.
When the penguin is on land, it walks along slowly. The penguin’s food source is the fish it catches. They have solid bones, while other birds have bones that are not solid.
