Information about the Emperor Penguin:

The Emperor Penguin is the tallest and heaviest of all living penguin species. It is is endemic to Antarctica. Like all penguins, Emperor Penguins have a big head, a short, thick neck, a streamlined shape, a short, wedge-shaped tail, and tiny, flipper-like wings. They have webbed feet which they use for swimming. Penguins are countershaded; they have a lighter color on the belly and a darker color on their back; this coloration helps them to hide them from predators, as from below they blend in with the surface of the water, and from above they blend in with the bottom.
