Penguin - Wikipedia

Highly adapted for life in the water, penguins have

countershaded dark and white plumage and flippers for
swimming. Most penguins feed on krill, fish, squid and
other forms of sea life which they catch while swimming
underwater. They spend roughly half of their lives on land
and the other half in the sea.
