    Penguin \Pen"guin\, n. [Perh. orig. the name of another bird,
    and fr. W. pen head + gwyn white; or perh. from a native
    South American name.]
    1. (Zo["o]l.) Any bird of the order Impennes, or Ptilopteri.
    They are covered with short, thick feathers, almost
    scalelike on the wings, which are without true quills.
    They are unable to fly, but use their wings to aid in
    diving, in which they are very expert. See {King penguin},
    under {Jackass}.

    Note: Penguins are found in the south temperate and antarctic
    regions. The king penguins ({Aptenodytes Patachonica},
    and {Aptenodytes longirostris}) are the largest; the
    jackass penguins ({Spheniscus}) and the rock hoppers
    ({Catarractes}) congregate in large numbers at their
    breeding grounds.

    2. (Bot.) The egg-shaped fleshy fruit of a West Indian plant
    ({Bromelia Pinguin}) of the Pineapple family; also, the
    plant itself, which has rigid, pointed, and spiny-toothed
    leaves, and is used for hedges. [Written also {pinguin}.]

    {Arctic penguin} (Zo["o]l.), the great auk. See {Auk}.
