Penguins or penguins order Sphenisciformes family Spheniscidae are aquatic animals that can not fly and generally live in the southern hemisphere.

Worldwide there are 16 species of penguins depending on whether two Eudyptula species are also counted as species. Although all types of penguins originally came from the southern hemisphere, penguins are not only found in cold regions or in Antarctica. There are three species of penguins that live in the tropics. One of the species lives in the Galapagos Islands (Galapagos Penguin) and usually crosses the equator in search of food.

The largest penguin species is the Emperor Penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) with a height of up to 1.1 meters and a weight of 35 kilograms or more.

The smallest penguin species is the Fairy Penguin (Eudyptula Minor) with a height of about 40 cm and a weight of one kg. In general, large penguins are more able to maintain their body temperature so they can survive in cold areas, while smaller penguins are usually found in warmer areas and even the tropics.
