Penguins are a group of aquatic, flightless birds who spend about half of their lives on land and half in the oceans. The largest living species is the Emperor Penguin (//Aptenodytes forsteri//): on average adults are about 1.1 m (3 ft 7 in) tall and weigh 35 kg (75 lb) or more. The smallest penguin species is the Little Blue Penguin (//Eudyptula minor//), also known as the Fairy Penguin, which stands around 40 cm tall (16 in) and weighs 1 kg (2.2 lb). They swim fast underwater or leap across the top of the waves. However, they lay their eggs and raise their chicks on land. Penguins habitats range from frozen Antarctica to warmer troical waters far north as tghe Galapagos Islands, on the equator. They are quite defenceless birds so they usually live in remote places. There are seventeen species of Penguins. Four species, the Adelie, the Emporer, the Chinstrap and the Gentoo, breed in Antarctica. The fairy Penguins live only in Australia and New Zealand. a Penguins diet is krill, squid, fish and other marine life they catch when swimming underwater. In general most penguin species live to about 20 years in the wild, but can live longer in captivity. In fact all birds have tongues of some sort or another. Penguins have very specialised tongues that are rarely seen since they don't extend out of the beak. Penguins tongues are covered with lots of little spiky spines that all point backward into the throat so that when a penguin catches a fish it is gripped by the spines and cannot escape. Different species of penguin sleep at different times and in different ways. Most penguins only take short naps. However, a few species (such as the Fairy penguins) come ashore every night and sleep for a few hours in their burrows. The other penguins spend most of their time at sea (some live at sea for more than 9 months of the year never coming ashore) and must sleep at sea - but no-one has been able to observe this behaviour yet.
