Penguins 101 A Questions-and-Answer Guide

About this book

To most people, penguins come across as clumsy, waddling buffoons. These enchanting birds bring a smile to our faces, and they are hard for us to take seriously. We think this way because most of the penguin photos or movies we see are taken on land, where penguins gather in colonies to lay eggs and raise chicks. But penguins are truly at home in the ocean, where they spend most of their life swimming and diving with the speed of fish and the agility of dolphins.

The aquatic life of penguins has shaped their bodies so much that they cannot fly and don’t look like any other birds. Penguins do things their own way. Have you ever wondered how long penguins live, how far they swim, why their feet never freeze, if they see colours, how they sleep, or why they don’t
fold their wings?

Based on the latest findings, this book answers these questions and many more. Illustrated with more than 500 photos, it will appeal to curious minds to learn more about penguins and to take a deep dive into the life of these iconic birds, superstars in the avian world.
