Penguins are a group of aquatic flightless birds. They live almost exclusively in the Southern Hemisphere, with only one species, like the Galapagos penguin, found north of the Equator. Highly adapted for life in the water, penguins have countershading dark and white plumage and flippers for swimming. Most penguins feed on krill, fish, squid, and other forms of sea life which they catch while swimming underwater. They spend roughly half of their lives on land and the other half in the sea.
