Penguins are animals with very interesting characteristics. They are birds, but among the 18 different species of penguins, they have one thing in common: they do not fly. However, they are the animals with the longest migratory journeys, with some species traveling up to 2,000 kilometers during migration. Due to their changing habitat, penguins can withstand constant changes in body temperature due to their insulating plumage and the abundant layer of fat on their skin.

An interesting fact is that some species of penguins, when they find a mate, remain together for many years, as is the case of the Magellanic penguin (Spheniscus magellanicus), which spends almost its entire life with the same partner. Some organizations that care for and protect penguin species presented a study in which a couple of penguins were observed for 15 years, and it was shown that the penguins remained with the same partners all these years. This is without a doubt one of the most incredible and wonderful animals in nature.
