Penguin
BirdDescription
Penguins are a group of aquatic flightless birds. They live almost exclusively in the Southern Hemisphere, with only one species, the Galapagos penguin, found north of the equator. Highly adapted for life in the water, penguins have countershaded dark and white plumage, and their wings have evolved into flippers. WikipediaFamily: Spheniscidae; Bonaparte, 1831
Scientific name: Spheniscidae
Class: Aves
Did you know: The northern tip of Isabela crosses the equator, meaning that some Galápagos penguins live in the northern hemisphere, the only penguins to do so. wikipedia.org
