Penguins have the reputation of "boats of the ocean", because when parading in the ocean, the speed of penguins is extremely fast. Its short wings are like a pair of powerful "paddles", and the swimming speed can reach 25-30 kilometers per hour.


Although penguins belong to birds, they also have wings, but their feathers are short and cannot fly. Penguins have two feet with webbed toes, which is the secret to their fast swimming!


Penguins are amphibians that can live on land and in the sea. The penguin has a black back and a white belly, and walks like a gentleman in a tuxedo. But walking on land is clumsy, as opposed to walking in the ocean.


The fur of penguins is very thick and has strong thermal insulation ability. Penguins are also one of the most cold-resistant animals in the world and can thrive in the severe cold of -60°C. So it is not surprising that they can play happily in the cold Antarctic.


Antarctica has a lot of land, and the sea is also very broad, and the rich marine plankton has become an abundant food source for penguins. The main food of penguins is small fish and krill. Similar to other birds, penguins also have no teeth, but the difference is that penguins have some barbs on their tongues and upper jaws to adapt to swallowing fish and other food.


If it is said that whoever is the most wholehearted in animal love , it is the penguin. The penguin's loyalty to love has reached an admirable level. When male and female penguins become partners, they establish a permanent mate relationship.


During the breeding season, due to the difficult incubation conditions and unable to forage, the fatter male penguins will undertake the task of hatching.While the thin females will hunt for food to replenish their strength, and then bring some food to the males, or replace the males.


And this has been a long time, the crisis is full, life and death are unpredictable, many penguins can never return, and if one of the husband and wife has an accident, the cub lacks care and is destined to not survive. Then the remaining penguin will also become depressed 、unhappy, and even died in love.


Male penguins are also role models among fathers, and they do their best to incubate their babies. In the ice and snow at -60 ℃, enduring strong wind, cold and hunger, and relying on the consumption of fat in their bodies to maintain life, it persisted for as long as 60-80 days, until the little penguin broke out of the egg shell.
