to get food like krill,small fish and squid
They don't.
Penguins are found in the Antarctic, but not at the South Pole itself. This theoretical point lies too far inland for penguins, or any other animals to venture.
Penguins are only found in the Southern Hemisphere, and are by no means restricted to the Antarctic. Whilst nothing can actually live at the "South Pole", because it is a point too far inland on the Antarctic continent to support life, penguins are one of the most abundant lifeforms found on the Antarctic peninsula and surrounding islands.
Penguins are specially adapted to live in these colder areas, because they have blubber which can protect them from the cold. Cold water can remove heat from the body much faster than air, so a good insulator is required.
Penguins need to live where they do (in and near the ocean) because they eat fish. They have special adaptations that allow them to live in the water. They cannot fly in air because their wings are too small for their body weight. The penguin is simply unable to create enough energy to take off. Penguins' wing bones are fused straight, rather than angled like a flying bird's, and this has the effect of making the wing rigid and powerful, like a flipper. The small wings and a streamlined body shape are ideal for diving in water.
Unlike the majority of other birds, penguins do not have hollow bones, so are much heavier and harder to support with their small wings. The solid, as opposed to hollow, bones act as ballast to help them dive. Also, being solid, they are less prone to breakage from the stresses of swimming. Some (but not all) flying birds have hollow bones to be lighter.
Penguins also have higher levels of myoglobin and feathers optimized for the aquatic environment. Myoglobin is the main way penguins store oxygen during their long dives. The muscles of flying birds are filled with mitochondria and enzymes to power flight, and there is no space left-over for myoglobin. So, flying birds cannot spend us much time underwater as penguins because they have less myoglobin (less oxygen per body mass) and lower body mass (less over oxygen).
Another reason why penguins live where they do is because they are able to optimise their feathers for the aquatic environment. Penguin feathers are short and tight to keep water away from the skin and to create a smooth surface to lower drag. Flying birds have very different feathers that are fluffy to trap air for insulation.
Oddly, penguins only come to land to breed. Otherwise, they live their lives in seawater.
they live in the south pole because they need to be in cold air and that's were they find food.
Not entirely correct. Of the 17 known species of Penguin, only 2 actually inhabit Antarctica. 3 other species, use the Antarctic for breeding purposes only.
Of the remainder, They all inhabit the Southern Hemisphere, in a range from Oceania, to the Galapagos.
Not all penguins live in Arctic climates but the ones that do live there for the same reason that any animals live anywhere. They're suited for it. Evolution, yeah baby!
Yes, there are 4 main species of penguin braving the Antarctic's cold: Emperor Penguins, Adelie Penguins, Gentoo Penguins, and Chinstrap Penguins.
Yes, but not in the Arctic (North).
Adaptation on a safer habitat with less predator and lesser competition for survival are the main reasons why penguins live mainly in Antarctica.
Penguins live in Antartica, the south pole.
Yes, they camouflage themselves in snow.
no penguins live in the north and south poles the equator is hot.
Penguins are a natural part of the environment where they live.
Penguins live strictly in the South Pole and in parts of South America very close to the South Pole. People say polar bears eat penguins but they can't because polar bears live at the north pole.
they live in the north pole they live in the north pole
yes the live in snow and snow is cold
There are four species of penguins which live in the snow and the icy water of the Antarctic: Adelie, Emperor, Chinstrapand Gentoo penguins.
Penguins can live in Singapore even though it doesn't snow here as Singapore keeps penguins that adapt to room temperature, not penguins that adapt to cold temperatures that are below 0 Degree Celsius.
snow leapords, polar bears, walruses, penguins
polar bears,penguins, Snow owl. Who couldn't know that ! EDIT: Actually, penguins only live in Antarctica, and polar bears only live in the Arctic Circle. Which is why polar bears don't eat penguins.
Yes, they camouflage themselves in snow.
One common animal that lives in Snow Field is the prairie dog. Also, weasels, beavers, and certain species of rabbits live in Snow Field.
Many animals are capable of survival in snow and snowy regions. Moose, elk, snow leopards, penguins, owls, martins, and polar bears are just a few.
No they don't, some live on rocks and some on snow but live in the ocean just near water.
they do not
no and yes
they go to the Warehouse and buy snow shoes.
