Meet the Penguins

There are 18 recognised species of penguin in the world. Living exclusively in the Southern Hemisphere, with the exception of Galapagos penguins who live on the equator, all species spend up to 75% of their time in the water. Although flightless, this endearing bird literally flies through the water with its wing-like flippers.

Whether you love their way of belly sliding in the snow, comically waddling upright when on land, their incredible agility in the water, the cuteness of their fluffy chicks, or how sociable they are, penguins hold an extraordinary appeal; read on to discover more about them.
