Why are penguins black and white?
The black and white coat of a penguin acts as a camaflouge. When swimming near the surface, it is difficult for would-be predators of penguins, such as sea lions and seals, to see their white bellies and recognize them as a source of food.
Do all penguins look the same?
No, there is actually a lot of variety within the penguin family. Every species has very unique colors, markings, and vary in size as well.
What is the largest type of penguin?
The largest of the penguin family is the Emperor Penguin. A Full-grown Emperor penguin can stand nearly 3-1/2 feet tall, and can weight more than 90 pounds.
