Penguins are torpedo-shaped, flightless birds that lives in the southern regions of the Earth. Though many people imagine a small, black-and-white animal when they think of penguins, these birds actually come in a variety of sizes, and some are very colourful.

For example, crested penguins spot a crown of yellow feathers. Blushes of orange and yellow mark the necks of emperor and king penguins. What look like bright yellow, bushy eyebrows adorn the heads of some species, such as the Foirdland, Royal, Snares and rock hopper penguins. The macaroni penguin's name comes from the crest of yellow feathers on its head, which looks like the 18th-century hats of the same name. A light yellow mask covers the face of the yellow—eyed penguin around the eyes.

Lightning is one of Nature's most dangerous phenomenon. The average lightning flash could light a 100 watt light bulb for more than three months. The temperature of a lightning bolt may reach 27.760°C which is hotter than the surface of the sun.

Lightning is not only an outdoor hazard. In houses without adequate lightning protection. It can be dangerous to take a bath or shower. The electric shock could be delivered along the water pipes. There is also the risk of lightning shocks being transmitted via telephone or plugged in electronics in houses without protection. Thus, people who live in these houses should unplug telephones, computers, and televisions during storms, protecting them from damage in case of lightning strike. If that is too much work, it's much safer to at least install special socket inserts that protect against surges.
