Penguins are one of the most ancient birds on Earth. These are flightless birds, and their body has a large muscle mass. Penguins are excellent swimmers. Due to their dense plumage and fat layer, penguins do not get wet in the water and do not freeze. Their wings in the process of evolution have changed into flippers, and the bones that form the skeleton have become flat.
The black color of the back of the penguins helps to attract even slight solar heat, which allows them to keep warm even in such a cold Antarctic. Slightly grown penguin babies go to groups of birds, where they are watched by several adult penguins, who are ready to protect the babies in case of any danger. At this time, their parents go to the sea to hunt.
