Penguins are a group of aquatic, flightless birds from the family Spheniscidae. They live almost exclusively in the Southern Hemisphere: only one species, the Galápagos penguin, is found north of the Equator. Most penguins feed on krill, fish, squid and other forms of sea life, which they catch with their bills. Penguins are iconic birds known for their distinctive black-and-white plumage and adaptations to life in cold climates. Penguins spend about half of their lives on land and the other half in the sea.
