Which four species of penguins breed on the antarctic continent itself?
On the continent, only the Emperor and the Adelie penguins breed there. Other types of penguins breed on the sub-Antarctic islands.
What penguins are in Antarctica?
From Antarctic Connection: "Of the 17 species of penguins, only four breed on the Antarctic continent itself: the Adelie, the Emperor, the Chinstrap and the Gentoo penguins." All penguins come to the continent to breed, so they are located on the beaches that surround the continent. Otherwise penguins make their lives in the oceans; they do not 'live' on the Antarctic continent.
Which 4 species of penguins breed on the Antarctica continent itself?
I don't know. Sorry
Do all penguins live at the South Pole?
No penguins live at the South Pole. 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.
Do penguins live in the north or south pole?
Penguins are found in the Antarctic rather than Arctic, but not at the South Pole itself. This theoretical point lies too far inland for penguins, or any other animals to survive. 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 there is no food chain on the continent, and it is too cold to support life, penguins are one of the most abundant lifeforms found in the Southern Ocean and especially around the Antarctic peninsula and surrounding islands. These lands are where these sea birds breed, because there are no land predators. Penguins do not live at or near the North Pole.
What two seas are between the trans-antarctic mountains?
The Trans-antarctic Mountain Range stretches across part of the Antarctic continent. Two seas on the sides of the continent are the Weddell Sea and the Ross Sea. There are no seas on Antarctica itself.
Does the penguin live in the Antarctica?
Penguins are sea birds and find their food chain in ocean water. A few types of penguins breed on Antarctica's beaches, because there are no land predators. When the chicks have fledged, the birds return to their homes in the sea.
Are penguins native to Australia?
There are four species of penguins that breed on the coasts of Antarctica itself, and another three species found on the sub-Antarctic islands. Overall, there are millions of penguins. Of the true Antarctic species, there are approximately 2.5 million breeding pairs of Adelie penguins, 5 million breeding pairs of Chinstrap penguins, 238 000 breeding pairs of Emperor penguins and 320 000 breeding pairs of Gentoo penguins.
Are penguins found in antarctica?
Yes, many breeds of penguins are found around the islands of Antarctica, and even a few breeds of the continent itself.
Did a piece of the Antarctica break off?
The ice sheet that covers 98% of the Antarctic continent does calve off icebergs, but the continent itself does not 'break off'.
Do shy albatross live in antarctica?
No. No animal lives on the Antarctic continent: it's too cold and there is no food chain. Albatross are among the sea birds that breed in the Antarctic region, including the sub-Antarctic islands off South America and off New Zealand, but none on the continent itself.
What species does an albatross belong in?
No albatross live in Antarctica: no animal lives there. Albatross are sea birds and breed on some sub-Antarctic islands, but not on the continent itself. These animals live at sea. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_albatross_breeding_locations
