Are penguins unique to Antarctica?

Speaking of penguins, we are no strangers, because people always associate penguins with cold. Penguin patterns are often painted on the bodies of some refrigerated trucks. When people see this pattern, they will immediately think that the Antarctic continent where penguins live is a world of ice and snow and inaccessible places. So, are penguins unique to Antarctica?

In fact, there are penguins in Oceania. It is a little penguin called "Fairy Penguin". There is even a "Penguin Island" with 6,543,800 fairy penguins, which attracts a large number of tourists every year.

On the south coast of Australia, including Tasmania and New Zealand, this lovely penguin lives. Because they are small, unsteady and dazzling, people give them a good name "Fairy Penguin". Fairy penguins are the smallest species in the penguin family. In this family, it is the smallest, with a body length of only 38 cm ~ 4 1 cm, which is less than half that of the Antarctic emperor penguin, so people sometimes call it a little penguin.

The fairy penguin can't fly because it only has a pair of degenerate wings. But with these wings, the fairy penguin can advance at high speed in the water, and the speed can reach tens of kilometers per hour, so it is worthy of being a master swimmer.

Fairy penguins have short wings, but they are the most important "organs" in the whole body. With two powerful short wings as "paddles", great swimming speed is obtained; When walking upright on land, you rely on these wings to keep your body balanced.

It is said that no matter how far they go, fairy penguins will never get lost. They will return to their "home" on time and never go to the wrong house.
