We saw penguins in Ushuaia. They were tiny. They were so cute I just wanted to pick them up and make a run for it. Gentoo and Magellenic penguins were the two main penguins who populated the island, but a lost King penguin from Antarctica resided there too. My brother asked how my favorite animals, penguins, survive the cold. I told him what I learned in second grade. They have a thick layer of fat to keep them warm. So they don't get wet, they have waxy feathers. It is very similar to wearing a fleece under a rain coat.
