Intersting Facts about Penguins

King Penguins:

 

Amazingly to my surprise I found out that penguins glow in the dark.

 

I also found out this about the King Penguin.  They are neat.

 

Did you know the King Penguin is the second-largest penguin in the world.  P.S.  The largest penguin is the Emperor Penguin.

 

These interesting fats about the penguins I found at a different site.  But I hope you enjoy them.  “They can dive up 300 m (985 ft.) and swim as fast as 10 km/h (6 mph).”

 

Penguins have specially adapted eyesight.  Their pupils shrink to the size of a pinhole.

 

Hope you enjoyed these interesting facts.

 

You can find King Penguins in Antarctica and the Falkland Islands.  There groups are as large as 600,000 birds.  Each family has it’s own space.  They prefer beaches or flat and rocky areas.

1 - Those are all amazing facts but how the heck do they glow in the dark? Is it that their eyes glow or the whole body?
Is it part of their defence?
Let us all know you do such great work!!

4 - Can you tell me what makes this possible? If it is a part of their diet I am going to start eating whatever it is, so I can save money on light bulbs. I don't know where you get your amazing information, but good work. (Comment this)
