| Karen, that must have been awesome! JT went snorkeling in the Caribbean and he said the water looked so blue but was actually so clear. |

While they can't fly in the air, penguins are incredible underwater swimmers, using their wings as flippers.
Most penguins live in the Southern Hemisphere, with some even found in the Galapagos Islands, which is north of the equator.
Their black and white coloring acts as camouflage in the water, making it harder for predators to spot them from above or below.
Penguins can drink saltwater because they have a gland above their eyes that filters out the excess salt, which they then excrete.
Penguins are social animals that live in large colonies. They also huddle together for warmth, especially during cold weather.
Many penguin species are devoted parents, with both the male and female taking turns incubating the eggs and feeding the chicks.
Penguins have distinct calls that allow them to recognize each other within their large colonies.
Unlike most birds, penguins molt all their feathers at once, spending a few weeks on land while their new feathers grow.
While some penguins build nests out of pebbles or other materials, others simply lay their eggs on the ground.
Penguins generally live for 15-20 years, but this can vary depending on the species.
Emperor penguins are known for their incredible diving abilities, holding their breath for long periods and reaching great depths.
