What do you call a gathering of Penguins?

  1. A wedge of penguins

  2. A waddle of penguins (correct)

  3. A tribe of penguins

    Interesting fact: Penguins have evolved a "third eyelid" called a nictitating membrane that acts as built-in swim goggles to see better underwater. They also have a special gland to filter salt from the seawater they drink, and their wings have become flippers for expert swimming. 

    A little known fact: They can hold their breath for over 40 minutes They do it by closing tiny air holes in their sides, mostly to save water - not to swim.
