Penguins
Black and white,
Like a tux
In frozen lands,
We do survive.
A flightless bird.
Though we have wings,
We swim like fish,
But with our feet.
We have many relatives
All over the world.
Some live in zoos.
And live in other countries.
We have traditions
For getting mates
Just like humans,
Except we mate for life.
During the harshest of month
The females look for food,
Away from the males
Who hold onto the eggs.
We are hatched from eggs
Like normal birds
But fathers care for us
Until mothers return.
Many movies are made
About the way we live.
Most are true
Others are cartoons.
We live in colonies
By the thousands.
We love each other
And everyone around us.
Who are we?
What are we?
We are birds,
And we are called Penguins.
