Just about any place you go, you're likely to see birds. Birds can be found on every continent in the world - in the mountains, in deserts, along coastlines, and in jungles. There are even birds that prefer the bitter cold of the Earth's polar regions!
In the Southern Hemisphere - particularly in Antarctica and nearby islands - there is an interesting kind of bird that prefers swimming to flying. This flightless waterfowl is, of course, the penguin.
Penguins are a bird of halves. Most have black and white feathers (black on their backs, white on their fronts), and most spend half their lives on ice or land and the other half in the water.
