The interest in penguins, these birds from Antarctica, has always been high, and after the cartoon "Madagascar" and "Madagascar 2", where the charming Skipper, Kowalski, Rico and Private virtually created his own story line, the Penguins were surrounded by even more attention.

What kind of bird that never flew, but very good swimmers?

In total there are 18 species of penguins, the smallest of the so-called Little Penguins (up to 45 cm, weight 2.5 kg) to the largest, the emperor penguin (up to 120 cm, weight up to 46 kg). Body shape more reminiscent of penguins are not birds, and dolphins, which means frequent pastime in the water. The device of wings and a powerful chest muscles and are not meant for flying, and swimming. Usually the bones of birds have a tubular structure that allows us to find a compromise between strength and weight, but the bones of dolphins are very strong and heavy, more like the bones of dolphins and seals.

Eyes of the penguins are more suited for vision under water, so they see on the ground is not very good. Pupil of the eye penguin can grow much more human, so the penguins can see well even in the dark, at a depth of 100 meters.

Penguins eat mostly fish and crustaceans. During the hunt penguins spend much time in cold water, plunging to a depth of 500 meters and holding at one time under water up to 18 minutes. Except Antarctica, penguins live in New Zealand, Australia, on the coast of South America and even the Galapagos Islands near the equator.
