Comments [ leave a comment ]

“Penguins are flightless, aquatic birds, which live in the southern oceans from Antarctica to the Galapagos Islands on the equator. There are seventeen species in all but the African Penguin is the only one to inhabit the African continent. They are extremely skilful swimmers, and can reach speeds of 24 kilometres per hour.” - Chris Smit, 2009/12/21
