These penguins can dive 1,854 feet deep, and stay underwater for more than 20 minutes. They can swim as fast as 12 mph.
The average lifespan is 20 years of age, but some penguins can live to be 50!
The penguin’s plumage serves as camouflage when they are swimming. The black is hard to spot from above, and the white looks like the sun’s reflection from below.r
