Have you ever seen a Penguin? I have in Sydney at the aquarium
The tallest Penguin is the Emperor Penguin they grow to 120 cm in height and weight 23kg. There are 17 types of penguins the one thing they all have the same is black bodies and white bellies. They have wings covered in feathers but don´t fly. They have short legs which they waddle or hop to move around. They have blubber to keep them warm. Penguins are a flightless bird.
Penguins only live in the Southern hemisphere they like the cold climate. They spend half of their time on land and half in the sea. They stay in groups on the land together to keep warm there can be thousands or millions in colonies.
Penguins worst predators are seals,sharks and whales. Penguins stay in groups in the water so it is safer for them.
Penguins catch their food under water, Emperor Penguins can stay underwater for around 20 minutes at a time they mainly eat fish,krill and squid. Penguins are carnivores they eat meat
Penguins sleep for only a couple of minutes at a time they can sleep in the sea or on land.
I like how Polar Penguins slide on their tummies to go long distances like tobogganing. I bet you would like to be able to do this to?
is there anything new you learned about penguins from my report?

ReplyDeleteHi Taine
ReplyDeleteGreat report about the penguins. When you read the facts about them you can definitely see that they have adapted to their environment to be able to survive haven't they? Wow what a cool place to have seen a penguin! I saw some little blue penguins on the Otago Peninsula. At dusk every night they come out of the water on to the beach all together. It's really fun to see.
