Hello my dear friends I am again here on steemit platform with a new post my this post will be about Penguins which are Wonderful Bird on this planet so here in this post I will show interesting information about Penguins so let's see.
Penguins are birds with black and white feathers and a funny waddle. But unlike most birds, penguins are not able to fly - in the air that is Penguins spend as much as 75% of
their time underwater, searching for food in the ocean When they are in the water, they dive
and flap their wings. It looks just like they are flying! Their body is built for the most efficient swimming with their average speed in the water being about 15 miles per hour. They are warm blooded, just like people with a normal body
temperature of about 100 degrees F. Penguins eat seafood. Their main diet is fish, though they'll also eat squid, small shrimplike animals called "krill" (see photo to the right) and
crustaceans
They also have backward facing bristles on their tongue that helps slippery seafood from getting away Penguins don't live near freshwater at least none that isn't frozen. Instead they drink salt water. They have a special gland in their bodies that takes the salt out of the water they
drink and pushes it out of grooves in their bill Penguins' bones are solid and heavy, which help them to remain submerged and reduce the energy needed for pursuit diving Some species can reach depths of 1000 feet or more and stay
submerged for up to 25 minutes, though most prefer shorter, shallower dives Penguins generally breed in large, dense colonies called 'rookeries some with 180,000 or more birds
Most penguins build nests of stone and there they incubate one or two eggs.Natural enemies of the penguin include seals, Killer whales, and, in the case of young chicks and eggs, several species of seabirds. Healthy adult penguins have no predators on land, so they have no
natural fear of humans While they don't like to be approached directly, these naturally curious birds will sometimes come quite close to a
quiet observer to get a better look.
