Penguins are lovely seabirds. They have wings but they cannot fly. They wear a black or blue-gray coat, and they have a white belly, and a pair of short legs. There are eighteen kinds of them. We must look at their heads and necks to tell one kind from another. Some of them have strange-looking hair on their head. When these seabirds walk on land, they are slow. Yet, when they are in the water, they become excellent swimmers! Most of them live in places covered by snow and ice year – round, but some are in warmer areas.
