Penguin is the correct answer to this question. Penguins are one of the small group of animals that have the ability to live on both water and land. Due to their ability to live on water, penguins are often known as aquatic birds.

Another feature that makes penguins stand apart of from other birds is that penguins are flightless. Penguins are not able to fly, which is another reason why they are referred to as aquatic birds.
During migration, you are able to see how versatile penguins are because some of the penguins will travel on foot, while others may travel by swimming.

The answer to this is a penguin. If in case you are not familiar with penguins, you should know that they are a group of aquatic, flightless birds that can usually swim but will also live on land. The black and white colors of the penguin are one of the reasons why they are able to camouflage.

While penguins are unable to fly, which means that you cannot expect them to fly on air, they can fly very fast underwater. They have the right flippers and plumage that can help them swim in a fast and easy way. Penguins are also known to be social creatures. They usually go in groups, and they are known to huddle from time to time for reasons that people may not exactly know why.

The correct answer to this question is penguin. They are one of the few animals that are able to live on both land and water. Penguins are often called aquatic birds, because of their life in the water. However, though they are birds, they are flightless. This means they are not able to fly, which is another reason they are called aquatic birds.

Their ability to live on water and land is why sometimes during their migration, you may see packs of penguins traveling on foot and then you may see other penguins swimming. Penguins are the color white and black, which helps them camouflage from threats.

I would have to say that this is a penguin because this is one animal that can live in both land and water. They are known to be aquatic birds but they are also flightless which means that they will not be able to fly.

This explains why whenever they need to migrate from one place to another, they would need to travel on foot, and sometimes they would also swim depending on the obstacles that will come their way. They have highly adapted to life in water, unlike other birds that will not be able to do that. Their dark and white coloring will make them perfect for camouflage against predators. They also use their flippers so that they can properly swim.
