Species of Penguin Coloring Pages
Welcome to my penguin species coloring pages section.
There are about 18 kinds of penguins in the world, and most of them don't live in Antarctica at all. Some waddle along warm, sunny beaches in Africa, Australia and South America!

Adélie Penguins
Adélie penguins build their nests out of pebbles, and on a rocky Antarctic beach a good pebble is a real treasure. A penguin will bring a nice pebble to the one it likes, and some sneaky ones steal pebbles from their neighbours' nests when nobody's looking!
African Penguins
African Penguins, also known as the 'jackass' penguins, bray like donkeys and waddle on the sunny beaches of Africa, taking dips to cool off.
Chinstrap Penguins
Chinstrap Penguins have a cute black line under their chin, just like they're wearing a little helmet, hopping around on icy rocks and splashing in cold waters.
Emperor Penguins
The Emperor Penguin is the tallest of all, standing as high as a grown-up's waist, and they are the best at snuggling to stay warm in the snowy Antarctic home.
Galapagos Penguins
The Galapagos Penguin is the only one who gets to sunbathe near the equator, swimming in the warm waters around the magical Galapagos Islands.
Gentoo Penguins
Gentoo Penguins are the speedy swimmers, with a splash of white on their heads and bright red beaks, darting through the water to catch tasty fish.
Macaroni Penguins
Macaroni Penguins stand out with their funky yellow hairdos, shaking their head feathers to the rhythm of the ocean waves.
Magellanic Penguins
The Magellanic Penguin sports a distinctive black "necklace" across its chest, giving it a distinguished look as it strolls along the southern coasts of South America, gracefully navigating both land and sea.
Rockhopper Penguins
Rockhopper Penguins are the rock stars with spiky feathers, hopping from stone to stone and diving into the sea with a big splash.
