Dan Ksepka shares five things you probably didn’t know about penguins:

  1. Penguins are ancient birds.
  2. Giant penguins once swam the southern oceans.
  3. Penguins did not evolve in cold environments.
  4. Some extinct penguins were spear-fishers.
  5. Ancient penguins wore coats of red and grey feathers.
