The comical-looking penguin is a highly specialized flightless bird, perfectly adapted to its harsh environment. Penguins are believed to have evolved from flying bird during the Eocene Period c. 40 million years ago. Their torpedo-shaped bodies help them swim at high speeds while using their wings as flippers, feet for steering and tail as a rudder. Their main source of food is small fish, squid and krill. There are 17 species of Penguins which live in their own noisy colonies ranging from the Antarctic to the tropical isles of Galapagos.
