Even Penguins Can Fly

Penguins are birds and do have wings. However their wing structured in way to allow them swim in water up to speed of 25 miles per hour. They can not fly in normal circumstances like other birds in the air.

They lay their eggs and raise their chicks on land but spend most of the time in water up to 75% all penguins live in Southern Hemisphere.There are 17 Species of Penguins largest being Emperor penguins(3'f in) and smallest being little penguins or fairy penguins(16 inches), found only in Australia and New Zealand.

All penguins have big heads and short thick necks, webbed legs, streamed-lined bodies and wedged-tailed for fast swimming. Thick bones to enable them stay under water and their wings are developed into flippers. 

They eat krill, fish, squid and very many other seafood.

However, on March 8, penguins were flying in Delta Flight 1641 from San Antonio to Atlanta. It is reported that the pilot made special announcement on the plane whether there was any passenger who was allergic to Penguins. As the plane reached the cruising altitude, two penguins came strolling from one end to the other flapping their wings to the passengers as they took photographs and recorded videos.
