I Love Penguins!

Penguins feed mainly on fish, squid and small shrimp-like krill. They dive deep underwater, using their feet as rudders, and come to the surface regularly to breathe. Gentoo penguins can swim at up to 27 kph. Rockhopper penguins have long yellow or orange feathers above their eyes. They often  nest on cliff-tops, using pebbles or grass. They reach their colony by hopping  from rock to rock, as their name suggests.
