Penguins

Penguins spend most of their life in the ocean. Penguins waddle because they have short legs. You know how penguins slide on their bellies? This is called tobogganing. Penguins can not fly because millions of years ago they could fly, but they did not because they could swim, so their wings change over time into flippers. Penguins have waterproof feathers, made for swimming. Did you know that penguins beaks can be bright purple. In Spanish the word penguin is pronounced, pinguino? Pretty cool right? If you want to know how to say it, go to google translate and search from English to Spanish, the word penguin. See ya!!

Penguins

O.k. The votes are in. Most people think penguins are so cool. I have to agree. I LOVE penguins they are my favorite animal. Penguins are very smart. They swim and catch fish, and even Emperor penguins eat squid. The ocean that Emperor penguins swim in has an average of 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Penguins eat shrimp, fish and crabs and more. Sometimes a Killer Whale would eat a larger penguin, rather than a smaller one. But Sea Lions eat penguins more often. Adelie penguins are the smallest penguins and Emperor penguins are the largest penguins. There is a lot more penguins than just that though. Whats really sad though is when there is oil spills from boats and ships, the penguins get that on there feathers and can't get it off and when it's hot out the penguins become hot and when is cold out the penguins become cold. They will die if their body temperature is to hot or to cold. What's also really sad is that if there is a bunch of litter on the ground they will get into it and choke, or eat something their not supposed to eat. They can die from that also. That goes for all birds, everywhere. Penguins are toothless, but instead they have a beak, to grab and catch fish. In just a few minutes one penguin can eat hundreds of krill, or many small fish. Rockhopper penguins jump. They jump little distances, but it is one of there unique ways of moving. That is where they got there name, Rockhopper. Adelie penguins make piles of rocks, and whoever has the most rocks gets the girls. Some penguins live in New Zealand, where it is still cold. Like a lot of other animals, penguins molt, or shed there fur. During molting season, you will probably see a lot of penguin feathers.

PENGUINS RULE!!!

Penguins

Penguins are so cool. They do some pretty amazing stuff, like huddle together to keep warm and push someone into the water first and make sure they are safe before everyone goes in the water. Penguins eat fish and normally live in colder regions like New Zealand and Antarctica in the Southern hemisphere. Penguins slide on there bellies to move a little faster. Penguins are prey to sea lions, in other words sea lions eat penguins. I first got interested in penguins a few years ago, and shortly after, started to recycle, to help save the penguins.
