Their similarities indicate that similar environments, although at great distances, can result in similar evolutionary developments, i. Penguin eggs are smaller than any other bird species when compared proportionally to the weight of the parent birds; at 52g (2oz), the little penguin egg is 4. The relatively thick shell forms between 10 and 16% of the weight of a penguin egg, presumably to reduce the effects of dehydration and to minimize the risk of breakage in an adverse nesting environment. Highly adapted for life in the ocean water, penguins have countershaded dark and white plumage and flippers for swimming.

I don’t mean to rain on your parade by telling you that you can’t hug penguins just like that, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.However, if you try to rub a baby penguin’s body with your hand, you’ll find it to be soft, furry, and oh-so-light to the touch.

The most recent common ancestor of penguins and their sister clade can be roughly dated to the Campanian– Maastrichtian boundary, around 70–68 mya.

According to the IUCN Red List, their conservation statuses range from Least Concern through to Endangered.

Agonistic displays are those intended to confront or drive off, or alternately appease and avoid conflict with, other individuals.They often huddle together to keep warm and rotate positions to make sure that each penguin gets a turn in the centre of the heat pack. Tertiary plotopterids (Aves, Plotopteridae) and a novel hypothesis on the phylogenetic relationships of penguins (Spheniscidae)" (PDF). Examples of four incompletely resolved aspects of the biology of penguins elated to digestive and reproductive physiology, vision and locomotion". Convergence and divergence in the evolution of aquatic birds Archived May 29, 2008, at the Wayback Machine by Marcel Van Tuinen, Dave Brian Butvill, John A.
