Penguins are oviparous, have a constant body temperature, have feathers, and breathe with lungs, while mammals are viviparous, drink their mother's milk, and are viviparous. Mammals are viviparous, while penguins are oviparous. Penguins are typical seabirds. Although they cannot fly, they have strong swimming skills among birds. Many water birds swim by sliding their webbed feet in the water. Although penguins also have webbed feet, they only use them as rudders to control direction. There are 18 independent species of penguins. The largest species is the emperor penguin, which is about 1.1 meters tall and weighs more than 35 kilograms on average. The smallest penguin species is the little blue penguin (also known as the fairy penguin), which is 40 centimeters tall and weighs 1 kilogram. Penguins feed on marine plankton, mainly Antarctic krill, and sometimes also prey on some brachiopods, squid and small fish.
