What is a penguins predator and its prey?

Answer 1

The main predators of the penguin are the fur seal, sea lion, leopard seal, shark and the orca. Predatory birds such as skuas and sea eagles are also a threat to penguins.

Penguin populations are also greatly reduced while breeding on land by ferrets, stoats, snakes and lizards. Even dogs, foxes and feral cats will prey on penguins while on land, as many species breed in temperate zones.

Answer 2

When in the water, penguins may be eaten by leopard seals, fur seals, sea lions, sharks, or killer whales. On land, foxes, snakes, and introduced predators such as feral dogs, cats, and stoats, prey on eggs and chicks of some penguin species, including the yellow-eyed and Galapagos penguins.

Answer 3

There are no natural predators of penguins in Antarctica -- it's one reason the animals come there to breed. However, baby penguins can be hunted by Skua parents who want to feed their new-born chicks.

Penguins are prey for marine animals -- seals and whales, however, when they return to their ocean home.

Answer 4

Penguins have a few predators, including humans (indirectly), but most seem to prey on Penguin chicks. Several seas birds will take the chicks if they can. Penguins are also eaten by Orcas, but I think their most deadly predator would be the Leopard Seal, but only in water.

Answer 5

penguins don't live in the arctic but their predators are orcas, skuas, sharks, seal lions and last but not least(no) leopard seals, these are some

Answer 6

Polar bears seals and killer whales

Not polar bears - as every primary school child knows, they can't get the wrappers off (and they live at the wrong end of the world...)

Answer 7

This sea bird is prey for all sea mammals, including seals and whales. Their eggs are prey to other sea birds in breeding areas.

Answer 8

A pengiuns prey is fish. its predator is sharks.
