As the world's only '100-degree birds', they breed in environments from -60 C to +40 C (-76 F to 104 F). They can dive to great depths, exist for long periods in freezing water, and have all the grace and agility of ballet dancers when swimming. But it is the way they carry themselves on land that so endears them to us: they waddle. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This compilation is the ultimate gift for anyone who is amused by the quirky, fun and heart-warming antics of penguins.
