Hi Everyone!

I’m writing about the bird, not the hockey team.

Did you know penguins have their own holiday?
April 25th mark it on your calendar.

The information is from; TheSpruce.com.
There are only eighteen (18) species of penguins. Only five (5) species art not endangered, vulnerable, threatened according to BirdLife International (BirdLife.org).

Large or Great penguins are King and Emperor.
Brushed tail penguin medium size have bristle, brushy tail.
Crested penguins all have some type of bushy eyebrow crests.

Penguins are one of the skilled birds no one thinks about as far as I know.
Ostriches are another bird that is skilled also, but no one thinks that of them also.

Penguins according to The Spruce.com they powerful flippers and streamlined bodies that make them accomplished swimmers. Fastest swimming and deepest diving birds of any kind and stay underwater for up to 20 minutes at a time. This is a Macaroni Penguin.

Ostriches according to Live Science.com they are the largest and heaviest living bird. They are flightless birds but are built for running. They can sprint up to 43 mph and stay at 31 mph as a steady speed.

Pretty interesting stuff!

Have a great day! Hope
