These endearing animals are shown in over 150 stunning close-up wildlife photographs and artworks, while the lively text reveals every aspect of penguin's behaviour. Find out how a penguin's body works, and discover why they waddle in an upright position but are then transformed into zooming torpedoes in the water. Special features focus on particular species, including the tall and elegant Emperor penguin and the smaller and tougher Adelie penguin. Read about their natural habitats from the North and South Poles to the Galapagos Islands; explore their cycles and senses in detail. This fabulous book will tell you what makes penguins so special.
