To put four feet into perspective for everyone out there who needs a visual. A mailbox is just under four feet tall when posted into the ground. 6 pencils stacked on top of each other is about four feet also. Four feet is about a foot shorter than celebrities Shakira, Dolly Parton and "Snooki."

Male penguins incubate the eggs

Unlike humans, male penguins will go and care for the egg while the female goes out and hunts for food.

All penguins are found in the Southern Hemisphere

Next time someone tries to tell you that polar bears and penguins live together, ignore them. Penguins live in the southern hemisphere while polar bears live in the northern. Also, put your childhood mind away because polar bears and penguins are not friends, they live in different hemispheres!

They don't rely on blubber for warmth

Most sea mammals rely on their blubber to keep warm but penguins rely on their feathers. Their feathers trap heat and keeps their bodies warm.
