Not long ago pair Of penguins at
the London roo became the parents Of
a baby penguin. Penguins are sell
dom seen In captivity, so the advent Of
the baby was matter of great inter
est to naturalists and the public gen.
orally. The penguin's home is In he
southern hemisphere, and they live
amid the ice, The wings have only
rudimentary quills and are used as
paddles The young are born covered
with down. but are very helpless and
require to be tended for long period
in the nest. The food of pengiuns
consists exclusively of fish. which the
birds capture beneath the surface by
their agility in swimming and diving
when their paddle-like wings serve
them to good purpose. So thoroughly
at home are they in the water that
they at first glance are often mistaken
for dolphins or porpoises.
