Penguins - Order Sphenisciformes
Penguins (Order Sphenisciformes) are flightless birds that live in the Southern Hemisphere. They have stiff wings and distinct coloration (black or gray feathers on their backs and white feathers on their bellies). Their wing bones are fused to form flipper-like limbs and enable the birds to dive and swim with great skill.

Ancient DNA Explains Penguin Micro-Evolution
The fossilized bones of Adélie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae) that lived six thousand years ago have provided insight into the micro-evolution of the species.
