Penguins find their food in the ocean such as fish, squid, and shrimp. They have black and white feathers and streamlined bodies for swimming, with short necks, webbed feet, and razor-sharp beaks. Penguins live in cold coastal areas around Antarctica, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, Chile, Peru, and the Galapagos Islands, keeping their eggs warm in nests until the chicks grow large enough to be fed by regurgitation.
