Penguins are birds that cannot fly. However, underwater, they develop speeds of up to 24 kilometers per hour. Instead of wings, they have flipper wings, and the penguins themselves are excellent divers. On land, penguins move vertically, awkwardly waddling from side to side, or – in the presence of snow cover – ride on their stomachs in the snow.
All penguin species – and there are about 17 of them – live only in the Southern Hemisphere. An exception is the Galapagos penguin, which can be considered an inhabitant of the Northern Hemisphere since its habitat in the Galapagos Islands captures a narrow strip on the other side of the equator. Four species of penguins live and nest in and around Antarctica, and three more live and nest on subantarctic islands. Thus, there are seven types of penguins that can be considered “chinstrap penguins”.
If you suddenly need to find the name of the penguin, we have prepared a nice list of names:
