Meet the Real Penguins

Meet the Real Penguins

Synopsis:
The underwater grace of penguins is compared with their ungainly and fascinating lives ashore. They're found from the mysterious Galapagos Islands to the rocky shores of the subantarctic, from the cool rainforests of New Zealand to the sun-baked coasts of Chile, huddling in the blizzards of Antarctica and nesting under houses in the capital city of New Zealand.
