Penguins are special birds that live in icy places. They can’t fly like other birds, but they are good swimmers. They have smooth bodies and wings. They help them glide through the water, looking for tasty fish.

Some penguins are small, like the Little Blue Penguin. Others are as tall as a tall child, like the Emperor Penguin. Penguins have a cool black-and-white look. This helps them hide when they swim. It is hard for other animals to see them from above or below.

Penguins are very friendly. They like to live together in big groups. They take good care of their eggs and babies. When penguins want to find a partner, the males give pebbles as presents. How nice!

Penguins have thick fat and lots of fluffy feathers to keep them warm.
Penguins also cuddle together to share body heat. Remember how unique they are next time you see a picture of penguins. They are super swimmers and masters of the chilly lands. They are true superheroes of the cold! They are amazing animals of the cold!
