Penguin lover

Penguins are one of my favourite birds. I love to watch those innocent eyes, graceful yet comical walk, active pursual for food, the way they swim and play underwater amazes many. I found some few interesting facts about these cute birds..

They can walk faster than humans.

They are social birds. They huddle together to keep themselves warm.

Before diving into unknown waters, they push other penguins off the cliff and watch whether they are alive or grabbed by predators like walrus, killer whales or seals.

 Penguins use a sign language to communicate with each other. They will wave their flippers and move their heads to "talk" to other penguins in the group.

    

They can leap out of the water to a substantial height to land.

Male penguins takes care of thier chicks.

When mothers lose a chick, they steal another mother’s chick.

Penguins drink salt water and can convert salt water into fresh water

A gland in their body removes the salt reserves from their body.

 When they want to have fun, they slide on their stomachs..
