What is the penguins adaptations to live in Antarctica?

Your answer is in your question. No non-sea bird, or non-sea mammal lives in Antarctica -- in fact, no animal lives on the continent: it's too cold and there is no food chain. Sea mammals and sea birds, however, do breed on Antarctica's beaches. These animals 'live' in the sea. The liquid sea is generally warmer than the ambient continental temperature, even on the coasts. This is true except for the Antarctic Peninsula, where surface temperatures can exceed freezing. These temperatures are normal habitat for these animals.

How do penguins survive in the South Pole Antarctica?

There are no penguins at the South Pole Pole sits more than 10,000 feet above sea level and is inland by about 750 miles. Penguins are sea birds and make their homes in the Southern Ocean which surrounds Antarctica. They breed on Antarctica's beaches, because there are no land predators there. When breeding season is over and the chicks have fledged, the animals all return to open water. Liquid water is always warmer than ambient air in Antarctica.

How many rodents are in Brazil?

Why do the penguins live in Antarctica?

Penguins do not live in the interior of the Antarctic continent as it is too cold and there is no food chain. There are some species that rely on the Antarctic waters for their food, and which breed along the edges and rocky coastlines of the Antarctic continent, living in penguin colonies on land whenever they are not hunting for food.These species of penguins survive the cold of Antarctica with the help of some unique adaptations. They have a thick layer of fat underneath the skin which helps to store energy. This thick layer of fat also insulates them. In addition, penguin feathers are specially designed. They are short and have an under-layer of fine woolly down, and easily shed water - a useful characteristic given that penguins spend up to 75% of their time in the water. Penguin feathers are shaped to overlap, enabling better streamlining for penguins when they are in the water, and protection from the wind when they are on land.Penguins have dark feathers on the broad expanse of their backs. These black feathers absorb the heat of the sun, helping to warm up the birds. Penguins have a specially designed circulatory system which can adjust to conserving or releasing heat to maintain a constant temperature. Antarctic species of penguins huddle together for warmth, and the eggs are incubated on the penguins' feet, where they get constant warmth.In truth, penguins don't live in Antarctica.Penguins come from the sea to breed in Antarctica. Usually, animals breed where there are no predators.No penguin 'lives' in Antarctica. Penguins are sea birds -- aqua-dynamic animals. Their food chain is in the sea.A few types of penguins do breed on Antarctica's beaches, but when the season is over, the animals return to their life at sea.
