Description: Attach your charm by the spring ring (shown) or have your jeweler solder it to the    bracelet. Based on their anatomy, penguins seem to have derived from a bird that was able to fly. The penguin’s flipper is actually a wing that has modified over time for swimming. They seem to be most closely related to albatrosses and petrels. In fact, petrels can fly in the air and below the surface of the water, so the connection makes sense. When penguins dive into the water, they look like they are flying. Penguins have been clocked at up to 37 miles per hour, but except for short bursts their speed is closer to 3 -6 mph. They can, however dive pretty deeply, especially taking into account their relatively small size. They are also able to keep heat loss to a minimum when they’re underwater. Most of the insulation is from bubbles of air trapped under the feathers. They still have to be pretty active in the water not to get too cold. Depending on what the penguin eats, he may stay under water for varying lengths of time. The birds that eat slow moving prey like crustaceans can catch a lot of them during a short dive. If they are chasing a fish or a squid, they have to stay under for a longer time. Add this sterling silver penguin charm to your collection as a reminder of the amazing nature of this bird! Also, there are more choices at silver bird charm designs including a new eagle charm in sterling silver.
