The order Sphenisciformes, consisting of a single family, the penguins, is found only in the Southern Hemisphere. Penguins are marine birds with wings that have adapted to be more flipper-like than other birds. Penguins are flightless and, therefore, have no flight feathers. All Sphenisciformes are members of the class Aves or Birds.
