Penguin Awareness Day happens on the 20th of January every year.
Penguin Awareness Day is a day to raise awareness about penguins and celebrate these quirky and adorable animals.
In the world today, there are 18 different species of penguins.
Penguins only live in the Southern Hemisphere in the wild, they are found living in places like Antarctica, South Africa and even Australia.
Of the 18 species of penguins, half of them are either vulnerable to extinction, or endangered, according to BirdLife International.
Penguins face a number of threats to their existence, including - habitat loss, climate change and pollution. Protecting the habitat, stopping climate change and stopping pollution will help penguins, and could help prevent them from becoming extinct.
We are lucky to share our world with penguins, and the world wouldn't be the same without them.
