Penguins have adapted to polar regions in many ways. They have a special circulatory system that lets them be able to conserve or release heat depending on their situation. Penguins will huddle together in order to keep warm as well. They have webbed feet to make them swim more efficient and faster. Penguins can't fly, they have solid bones but those bones help them to hunt and swim better underwater.

∙ 15y agoPenguins do not live at the South Pole, there is nothing for them to eat there. They live along the coastal areas of Antarctica where there are plenty of fish in the sea. Penguins have a layer of fat that insulates them from the cold and provides a reserve when food is scarce. Their feathers overlap in layers and they have an oil gland from which they spread the oil over their feathers to make them waterproof. Emperor penguins huddle in groups shuffling in turn to stay out of the cold wind.

Why are the polar regions important?
Because if the polar Ice caps were not there then there would be no polar bears or penguins and they are the ones that keep the fish from becoming over populated and with out those 2 species it would mess up the whole food chain so we need to save the Polar Ice Caps -F@ITH! :) <3 **

Why does solar energy reach the equatorial regions more than the polar regions?
Because the sun hits more directly at the equator. More sunlight is reflected off from the polar regions, and so less sunlight hits in the polar regions. NO! The sun's rays strike the polar regions at a lower angle, therefore delivering the same amount of energy, but spreading it over a greater area. This is what causes lower temperatures in the polar regions.
