Is a penguin a bird or a mammal?
Penguins are birds, but unlike most birds, penguins are not able to fly in the air, but under water. Thanks for asking ChaCha!

About Birds
Birds are warm-blooded vertebrates that lay eggs. A bird’s skin is covered with feathers, and all living species have wings made from modified forelimbs, even though some species do not fly. The origin of birds goes back to the Jurassic period. Modern birds have no teeth unlike their predecessors. Birds are found on all seven continents and play an important role in the earth’s ecosystem.
