Did you know that the penguin first appeared 40 million years ago in the east part of Europe when it was still the Ice Age? They are order Sphenisciformes, family Spheniscidae, they eat krill, fish and squid, the largest is the emperor, and the smallest is the little blue, some prehistoric ones may have been as tall, or weighed as much as a human. ----

  • Penguins can swim 15 miles per hour
  • There are at least 18 species of penguins
  • However only seven species are actually found in Antarctica
  • Penguins mate for life
  • A group of penguins can be called a colony or a rookery
  • Penguins cannot swim backwards (yeah, who knew?)
  • Penguins can hold their breaths for six minutes underwater
  • A group of penguins on land is a waddle. The nesting group is a rookery. A group of babies is a creche. A group on water is a raft. And a group of penguins in a bar is known as a Morty.
