Why not include Penguins?

[edit]

Considering that Penguins get essentially all of their food from the water and have entirely lost the aerodynamic utility of their wings in favor of hydrodynamic fins, and have largely compromised their legs and posture to adapt to aquatic conditions, I would say that Penguins are, if anything, MORE aquatic than any of these birds. Consider also that Penguins have become much closer to neutral buoyancy, whilst, for example, ducks, are only marginally denser than dry Balsa wood. Additionally, Penguins are marine-countershaded in the same way as leopard seals, sharks, Orcas, etc — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.62.170.208 (talk) 17:14, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Penguins are included under seabirds which are listed here. Carcharoth (talk) 16:55, 19 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
