Information Report (Penguins)

I always think that penguins are kiwis but taller at the Auckland zoo. Penguins a very special they're not like an ordinary bird they don't fly there special birds. Did you know the tallest penguin is the emperor penguin at the height of around 4 feet (1.1m), yet Penguins can seem like they walk fast but just woddle going side to side with their flippers out.

Penguins have all sorts of colours on there back and front which is called countershading. This is a unique colour for them because it can stand out and camouflage them from their predators so they don't end up in an accident. Did you know that King Penguins have 4 layers of feather to keep them warm in the cold.

With Penguins they usually eat squid and fish, but the fascinating thing that they eat is shrimp size which is krill. Did you know when the parents lays an egg. The parents would always take turns sitting on the eeg because they both need to reduce their energy to hunt some food for there family, but penguin chicks can only go by themself to hunt when they reach their adult years.

Most people think that penguins are cold blooded because they live in the antarctic, but thats false they are actually warm blooded. Penguins live in the southern hemisphere like Antarctica, New Zealand, Australia, Argentina and others. They all don't oppose to be in the cold, they also can be found in the warm like Australia and New Zealand.

Penguins have special oil to cover their feathers with to make them waterproof. I think that antarctica is a safe place for penguins if there on high ground, Because in Antarctica they have no predators on land.
People think that penguins live in the North pole also me, but there are actually NO penguins living inbthe North Pole.

For writing this week. I learnt more about penguins. Penguins is very interesting because when i was little I thought penguins lived in the North pole, but unexpectedly penguins don't live in the North. I wrote a information report about facts and info about penguins like Habitat, Diet, appearance and others.
