A pengiun is generally white on its stomach and neck and black or gray on its back and forearms. Sometimes it has white and/or yellow on the back of its head. It is shaped like an elongated oval with a tear-drop shaped head that narrows into a long, triangular beak. It stands upright. Its forearms are on either side of its body and are long and flat and curve slightly toward the pengiun's back. Its feet are wedge-shaped and clawed. They are colored black or dark gray. Its tail is shaped like a flat triangle. A penguin is between two and four feet high and roughly egg shaped. It looks as if it is wearing a tuxedo. It has a beak near the top of the egg and duck-like feet at the bottom. It sometimes spreads its egg-wings towards the sky, but like most eggs, it cannot fly. It walks in a jerky stumbling fashion but swims very gracefully. It will capture your heart with its charms.
