Head south on your penguin-spotting adventure. All 18 penguin types (emperor,  chinstrap, and ad\u00e9lie penguins being the most common) live in the southern hemisphere. The north pole\u2019s predators (polar bears and artic foxes) are understandably off-putting. Plus the ice is thinner in the south meaning there\u2019s more water for penguins to hunt in. This means the majority have made Antarctica their happy home. Plus the coasts of South Africa, South Georgia &amp; The Sandwich Islands, Falkland Islands, Chile, Argentina, Peru, Uruguay, Brazil, Angola, Mozambique, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and the Galapagos Islands. As if you needed an excuse to travel&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Their black-and-white tuxedos act as underwater camouflage<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2022\/01\/@snapdb-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"penguins\" class=\"wp-image-754326\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/@snapdb-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/@snapdb-330x220.jpeg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/@snapdb-360x240.jpeg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/@snapdb-600x400.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/@snapdb.jpeg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You heard that right. The penguin&#8217;s iconic black-and-white tuxedo look camouflages them from potential prey in the water. Their black tops look like the dark depths of the ocean when viewed from above, while their white bottoms look like the bright surface of the ocean when viewed below. Genius&#8230; and fashionable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>People-sized penguins existed over 60 million years ago<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"713\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2022\/01\/King-Penguins-@evanescentlight-1024x713.jpeg\" alt=\"King penguins\" class=\"wp-image-754314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/King-Penguins-@evanescentlight-1024x713.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/King-Penguins-@evanescentlight-330x230.jpeg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/King-Penguins-@evanescentlight.jpeg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s evidence that the first trace of penguins (the \u2018Great Auks\u2019) date back to pre-dinosaur times. Fossils show these stood up to 6.5 feet tall and weighed over 250 pounds! Fun fact: you can see enormous penguins in the animated film Surf\u2019s Up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A group of penguins has more than one name<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2022\/01\/FEATURE-PENGUIN-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"huddle\" class=\"wp-image-754378\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/FEATURE-PENGUIN-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/FEATURE-PENGUIN-330x186.jpeg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/FEATURE-PENGUIN.jpeg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Penguin huddle together for warmth and protection.

While a group of penguins together in the water is called a raft.

But they can leap up to 9 feet between blocks of ice and slide elegantly on their bellies (called \u2018tobogganing\u2019). Don\u2019t you wish you could do that? And dive dramatically into the water. Here, their feet act as rudders which they can angle to steer direction as they swim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Female emperor penguins sometimes kidnap<\/strong> babies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"769\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2022\/01\/@chancebrown-cape-town-penguins-1024x769.jpeg\" alt=\"cape town penguins\" class=\"wp-image-754315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/@chancebrown-cape-town-penguins-1024x769.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/@chancebrown-cape-town-penguins-330x248.jpeg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/@chancebrown-cape-town-penguins-80x60.jpeg 80w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/@chancebrown-cape-town-penguins.jpeg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When their baby dies, a female emperor penguin will often kidnap another baby penguin from someone else.

Meanwhile, the female goes hunting for up to two months and returns with piles of food. Amazingly, the male will not eat anything the entire time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final word<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you read this, the northern rockhopper, the erect-crested, the yellow-eyed, the African and the Gal\u00e1pagos penguin types are all endangered. By 2100, it&#8217;s estimated at least two-thirds of emperor penguin colonies will have dramatically declined and need new breeding places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Please share this article to raise awareness.
