Penguin Facts for Kids

Penguins can't fly, but they are excellent swimmers. They have streamlined bodies and small flippers that help them glide through water at speeds of up to 22 mph!

About Emperor Penguins

The Emperor Penguin is the largest of all living penguin species. They can grow up to 4 feet tall and weigh as much as 90 pounds!

One of the most intriguing Emperor Penguin facts is their ability to dive as deep as 1,850 feet in search of food. They often forage on squid and fish, which they swallow whole!

Emperor Penguin Chicks

Emperor Penguin eggs are laid during the Antarctic winter when temperatures can drop as low as -40°C. To keep their eggs warm, male Emperor Penguins balance them on their feet and cover them with a fold of their belly flap.

After about 65 days, the chick hatches. The father stays with the chick for about a month, during which time the chick grows quickly and learns to swim and catch food.
