Penguins or fat geese are an order of non-flying seabirds found only in the southern hemisphere. Penguins belong to the order Sphenisciformes, class Aves (birds). All modern penguins belong to the Spheniscidae family, but there are extinct species that fall outside this crown group.
Penguins are easily distinguished from other birds and they are fully adapted to extreme cold and marine life. For example, they have warm plumage. Penguins use their wings to fly through the water just as other birds fly through the air. They can fly through the water at speeds of up to 30 km per hour. The name "penguin", which probably comes from the Celtic pen gwyn (white head), was originally used for the giant auk, the now extinct counterpart (not a close relative) of the northern hemisphere penguin. source wikipedia
