Show The Penguin Penguins are perhaps the most unusual members of the bird king ' dom. Their home is the frozen ' wastes of the south Polar seas They have wings, but cannot fly' Their short, chubby legs are so far back that, on land, they walk : upright, appearing like stout little : men in evening dress. The female lays a single egg : and the birds spend most of their : lives afloat, feeding on fish and: mollusks. Their wings, useless in ': the air, serve as flippers in the : water, and they are marvelous swimmers. Washington Post. |
