Penguin is a flightless bird which live in the Antarctic/Southern Hemisphere area. It is called a flightless bird because it has wings (like birds) but it cannot fly. Because the wings have evolved into flippers. The penguin use it for swimming instead flying.
Penguin's Appearance
Like what is showed in the picture.
Penguin have two main color. That is black on the back side, and white on the front side. Actually this isn't just some random color. Both of them have their own function for camouflage.
The white color on the front side is useful to camouflage from the predator below. The predator won't be able to differentiate between a penguin belly and the reflective water surface. The black color on the back side also used to camouflage from the predator above.

Penguin lifespan is about 15-20 years. The one which usually reach to 20 years is the emperor penguin.
Emperor penguin is the largest penguin of penguin's kind. It's height can reach to as tall as human. Even though it is big, but it can only lay 1 egg, unlike the other penguin which lay 2 eggs.
When the female penguin have lay the egg, it will go to the sea to find food. While the male penguin take care of the egg by keeping it warm between their legs. The female will return to the land when the egg have hatched. They will feed their child with the food that is inside their mouth already. After that the male will go to the sea to find food.
What's amazing about penguin is that they are very loyal to their partner. Because, once a penguin married another penguin, they will never cheated for their whole life. Sweet! :')
