Why Penguins Can't Fly

Okay! So, imagine you have a toy bird that you really love. It can flap its wings and fly high in the sky. Birds like eagles or sparrows can do that!

But penguins are different. They are special birds that cannot fly. Instead, they are amazing swimmers! 🐧

Why Don't Penguins Fly?

1. Heavy Bodies: Penguins are a little heavier than most birds. They have big tummies to help them swim better in the water.

2. Short Wings: Instead of long wings like other birds, penguins have short, flipper-like wings that help them move through the water, like how we use our arms to swim!

Why Are They Great Swimmers?

1. Fast Swimmers: Penguins can swim very fast! They can zoom through the water to catch fish and other yummy snacks.

2. Sliding on Ice: Penguins also slide on their bellies on the ice to move around, which is super fun!

So, while penguins can’t fly in the sky like some birds, they are really good at swimming in the ocean!
