Penguins Poop With More Force Than Any Other Animal

United States
December 24, 2025 9:31am CST
You did realize that if I talked about "pee" yesterday I was destined to talk about "poop" today, right? I visited several penguin colonies when I was in South America and boy can they poop! They can shoot their feces up to more than 4 feet away from their butts. No, really! Penguins are said to poop with more force than any other animal because of some unique ability concerning their internal pressures generated during the process of pooping. The reason they shoot their poop so far away is that they lift their tails to expel their waste to make sure both cleanliness and protection of their eggs. So now you know. You're welcome.

I can really get some looks from my family for mentioning this. You know, more looks than I usually get.

@LooeyVille Yes, but because of surgery delays, it may not be doable til the next lease is up.

There are things in life I have never really ever wanted to know. I am certain, within that list, was the pooping habits of penguins.
