Where Do Penguins Live?
Almost all penguins are found in the south half of the world. Many live in Antarctica, the icy land at the South Pole. Others live in South America, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. No penguins live near the North Pole. This means penguins and polar bears never meet in real life.
Print a few before a snow day and let everyone pick a penguin.

He holds the egg on his feet and covers it with a warm flap of skin. He stands like this for about two months and does not eat.
What colors are penguins?
Most penguins have a black back and a white belly. Emperor and king penguins also have yellow and orange on the neck.

Some penguins build nests out of small stones. The stones keep the eggs off the wet ground.
