There are more than 9000 species of birds in the world. Among this great number only 17 species belong to the penguins family, and still penguin is the most known from all birds, and the most liked. Such attitude to penguin is easily explained. These large, clumsy birds waddle, ridiculously being transferred with a leg on a leg, with fussy by the important kind. They in a maximum degree are obedient and very much are curious. Penguin hold oneself upright, instead of wings at his fins, it is very similar per capita in a black dress coat. For this reason it seems to the people, that penguins remind the people. It is no wonder, that in zoos penguins call constant interest.

The riddle of penguins is an integral part of their attractiveness. Per the last years the answers on many problems were found, but there was many more unknown. For example, we until now do not know, where direct some penguins after ending conjugal period. We can not explain, why penguins can gather of weight with surprising speed, and then during several weeks to remain without food, when they are be occupied set out on the eggs or grow of new pens. The answer on these problems would help us not only better to understand and to evaluate penguins, but also it is more to find out about the organism.
