Galápagos penguins are incredibly agile underwater, using their powerful flippers and streamlined bodies to accelerate and change direction with ease. They chase small fish through the water column and can even appear to work together around shoals, helping concentrate the fish while feeding. ________________________________________________________________________________ Planning a trip to the Galápagos Islands? 🏝️ Paul McFarling is a Galápagos guide and tour organiser with over 30 years of experience helping travellers explore the islands, wildlife, landscapes, and natural history of this extraordinary destination.
