Pearls of Wisdom:
- Penguins are flightless birds but can swim at speeds over 10 miles per hour.
- An emperor penguin dove down an amazing 1,850 feet, requiring great lung capacity.
- They can drink seawater as a gland above their eye removes the salt from their bloodstream, which then comes out through their bill or by sneezing.
