Essay on penguin

Penguins feed off of small sea life forms, including fish, crustaceans, and cuttlefish. Surprisingly, in captivity, the King and Emperor penguins usually have to be fed by hand, because they do not learn how to pick up their own food (Pete & Barbara's Penguin Page). Most penguins can be found in captivity throughout the world.

Penguins are the birds which are especially found in cold regions of Antarctic islands. The word or name ‘penguin’ is derived from two words i.e. ‘Pen’ means ‘Head’ and ‘Gwyn’ means ‘White’. Penguins are flightless birds i.e. they cannot fly in the sky, instead they can fly or swim fast deep inside the seas and oceans with the help of their wings.

Penguins are very social birds. Nesting areas can contain thousands of individual birds. Even at the sea, they will swim and feed in groups. Because penguins are birds, the females, will lay eggs after mating. Most penguin species build nests, but the nests will probably only consist of only a pile of rocks or hollows in the dirt.
