the claim

Penguins can fly.

the verdict
REFUTED
the evidence says no
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 11 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that penguins can fly?

No. Multiple reference and peer-reviewed sources state plainly that penguins cannot fly, describing them as flightless birds that swim instead; the only 'flying penguin' material is a documented hoax.
