penguins
Flightless tuxedo birds
Penguins is the plural of penguin, a flightless seabird native to the Southern Hemisphere.
Penguins are distinctive for their black-and-white coloring and upright waddle on land, though they're graceful swimmers.
They live in colonies and appear frequently in nature documentaries and children's media: We watched the penguins huddle together against the Antarctic wind.
