    I did go swimming with them and it felt like a submarine was shooting torpedoes at us they went by so quickly. A facial shot like this was unthinkable. I don't know how you managed it but BRAVO! Posted 8 years ago

The Galapagos penguin

The Galapagos penguin is a penguin endemic to the Galapagos Islands. It is the only penguin that lives north of the equator in the wild. It can survive due to the cool temperatures resulting from the Humboldt Current and cool waters from great depths brought up by the Cromwell Current. The Galapagos penguin is one of the banded penguins, the other species of which live mostly on the coasts of Africa and mainland South America.
