They do not live only in cold climates, they can drink salt water and they are one of the most faithful species of the animal kingdom, although a recent video puts in doubt. Here we tell you the rest of curiosities about the nice species
Penguins are one of the most beloved birds of the animal kingdom. The cinematographic culture, its peculiar way of moving and its physiognomy have been in charge of conferring a special attraction around the world
Of the species, there are known characteristics such as its inability to fly, its vulnerability to global warming and perhaps the most pressing: its tendency to maintain a partner throughout its life.
YOU HAVE EXCELLENT EAR
Despite their lack of visible ears, the penguins have excellent hearing and rely on different calls to identify their peers when they return to crowded communities.
BELIEVE IN ETERNAL LOVE
Penguins are monogamous, meaning they only have one partner to reproduce throughout their life.
THEY ARE QUICK AND FURIOUS
The fastest species is the Gentoo Penguin and can reach speeds of up to 35 km / h.
ARE DRESSED FOR THE OCCASION
Its color and nice pattern similar to a tuxedo, is actually a camouflage; from above, his black back mingles in the dark depths of the ocean. From below, his white belly is hidden against the bright surface.
HEALTH!
The penguins ingest a lot of sea water while they search for fish, but a special gland in their eyes (the supraorbital gland) filters the salt water from their bloodstream and excretes it through sneezing.

THE DISPLAY OF SHAME
Unlike most birds, which replace or gradually lose, the penguins completely shed their plumage and spend two or three weeks on land.
LOVERS OF THE GREAT FAMILIES
At least 17 of the 19 species of penguins breed in large colonies of up to a thousand birds.
