Penguins
Penguins are flightless, aquatic birds which live almost exclusively in the Southern Hemisphere. Their plumage — which consists of tiny, stiff, undifferentiated feathers—is black, grey or blue above and white below. They breed in colonies, which are often very large, and hunt underwater, feeding on krill, fish and squid. A single species has been found once in Madagascar; it may have been released by sailors.
