Urban Penguin Migration

"All flightless birds have wings..."

“All flightless birds have wings…They’re just remnants with new uses. In penguins, the ancestral wings have evolved into flippers, allowing the bird to swim underwater with amazing speed. Yet they all have exactly the same bones that we see in the wings of species that can fly.”

-Jerry A. Coyne
