World Penguin Day on April 25 aims to raise awareness about these flightless birds to preserve their species so that future generations get to see these elegant and remarkable creatures.

Penguins aren't only visually appealing but are the most skilled birds in the animal kingdom. They’re capable of holding their breath underwater for 20 minutes and can swim around five times faster than an Olympic swimmer.

Penguins are birds, although aquatic and flightless. They live in the southern hemisphere, gracing their habitat with their beauty. World Penguin Day is dedicated to these exceptional creatures.
