Random Penguin Facts:

❄️ They're waterproof.
Penguins spread an oil produced by the preen gland that insulates their bodies and improves their hydrodynamics.

❄️ They can swim at speeds over 10 miles per hour.
Gentoos, the speediest penguins, can top 20 mph, but most species dart around at a more modest 4 to 7 mph.

❄️ And also dive down over 800 feet.
In the deepest dive ever recorded by the Australian Antarctic Division, an emperor penguin reached an amazing 1,850 feet. Those huge depths require a great lung capacity; the longest known dives have lasted 22 minutes!

❄️ Penguins' suits act as camouflage.
Their black backs blend with the ocean water when seen from above, and the white bellies match the bright surface when viewed from below. This disguises them from predators like leopard seals and helps them catch prey like fish, squid, crabs, and krill.

❄️ They go through a "catastrophic molt" once a year.
Penguins lose all of their feathers during the two- to three-week process, and can't swim or fish until the important insulation grows back.
