These winged, yet flightless birds occur in a range of climates from temperate to arctic along coastlines of Africa, South America, Australia, and Antarctica. Penguins are able to nimbly 'fly' through water, but not in air. Their diet consists mainly of fish. Predators include sharks, killer whales, seals, humans, and some other creatures.
