What is the penguins adaptations to live in Antarctica?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

There are no animals that live in Antarctica: it's too cold and there is no food chain.

Sea birds and sea mammals that breed on Antarctica's beaches adapt to the ambient air with extra fat layers and for sea birds, over-lapping feather patterns.

Answer 3

No birds live on the Antarctic continent. Some sea birds, however, do visit Antarctica's beaches to breed for several weeks each year. Their life at sea provides them with food. Their bodies contain a layer of fat that protects them from the region's extreme cold.

Answer 4

Penguins have adapted to live in Antarctica, mostly in the water.

Their solid bones help them stay under the water, as well as flippers to help them reach speeds of 15mph.

Their feathers are waterproof, and for comfort. Also the black and white colour provide camouflage.

Blubber keeps them nice and warm!
