Not all penguins live in the freezing ice, and not all of them just waddle when they walk! These fascinating, non-flying birds are full of surprises. In this exciting journey, you will discover the brilliant ways penguins have adapted to life both in the water and on land. Learn about their specialized feathers, why constant preening is essential to their survival, and how they expertly hunt for their food beneath the waves. You will meet a wide variety of species, from the towering Emperor penguins that hold a single egg carefully balanced on their feet to stay warm, to the smaller crested Macaroni and warm-weather Galapagos penguins. Find out why some penguins weigh almost a hundred pounds while others weigh barely two. Packed with amazing facts regarding their anatomy, groups, and parenting habits, this book explores the true lives of the ocean's best-dressed birds.
