Dim ARE "A PECULIAR PEOPLE" 



Their wing* have been turned into flippers for swimming in the sea and tobogganing on snow. The penguins come back over 

 hundred* of miles of trackless waste to their birthplace, where they breed. When they reach the Antarctic shore they walk with deter- 

 mination to a suitable site, often at the top of a steep cliff. Some species waddle 130 steps per minute, 6 inches per step, two- 

 thirds of a mile per hour.
