A captive Humboldt Penguin. In the wild, they can be found along the shores of Peru and Chile and their sharp claws help them climb over the rocky coastlines. Around 2ft tall, they can swim up to 30mph and 500m deep when searching for food. During the hottest months of the year, temperatures in the Humboldt penguin's home can reach triple digits so the patches of bare, pink skin around its eyes and at the base of its bill help it expel body heat.
