What does a Galapagos penguin eat?
The Galapagos penguin is the only penguin to ever cross the northern Hemisphere. It lives on the equator and is one of the smallest penguins (48-50 cm and only 5.5 lbs). What makes this Penguin so amazing is its ability to adapt to the hot weather and the surroundings. These Penguins are capable of hunting for food at temperatures of 82 degrees, while taking habitat in the 104 degrees weather on the shore of the island. Since this penguin lives in such an obscure environment there must have been some adaption that had occurred verses the other winter adapted penguins. Since the temperature of the Galapagos Islands is so hot, the Galapagos Penguin had adapted to a smaller body of size. This smaller size of body allows the Penguin to be much more effective to dissipate heat because there is no need of staying warm as they are already in so much heat. Therefore telling us why the Emperor Penguin is so thick in feathers once again. This is a structural adaption. The heat in the Galapagos Islands made the Galapagos penguin acquire a very unique adaptation; molting ability. With this ability the Penguin is capable of molting twice a year instead of once, unlike the other species of penguins where they only molt once in a year. What molting is it allows the penguin to maintain their feathers in a good condition, the reason for this is because all penguins have a layer of feathers that can easily be damaged by the sun rays. Since the Galapagos Penguin lives in such hot weather it must molt twice a year. This is a psyloigical adaptation and structural adaption. Another adaptation the Galapagos acquired during years of living in so much heat is called hatching asynchrony. What this adaption does it allows Galapagos Penguins eggs to hatch two or four days apart. By doing this it will allow the baby penguin to have a better chance of survival. The food supply in the Galapagos Islands is poor. The Galapagos Penguin had to adapt to this shortage so what the Galapagos Penguin developed is a breeding system where they are capable to breeding whenever they desired, meaning they had no specific breeding season. By doing so, when they have access to food they are able to feed the young ones so they won't starve. This is a behavioral adaptation.
