Penguins are birds that traded flight for swimming, using stiff flippers to shoot through the water after krill. On land they waddle in groups, and thousands may gather in a single colony on the ice. To survive brutal cold, emperor penguins pack into a tight huddle and take turns on the freezing outer edge. The list below names four kinds of penguin along with the words for how they move, feed, and stay warm.
