The Emperor Penguin's predators include birds and aquatic mammals. TheSouthern Giant Petrel is the predominant land predator of chicks, responsible for up to 34% of chick deaths in some colonies though they often scavenge dead penguins as well. The South Polar Skua mainly scavenges for dead chicks, as the live chicks are too large to be attacked by the time of its annual arrival in the colony.

The known aquatic predators are both mammals: the Leopard Seal ), which takes some adult birds, as well as fledglings soon after they enter the water,and the Or ca , which takes adult birds.

If one of a breeding pair dies or is killed during the breeding season, the surviving parent must abandon its egg or young and go back to the sea to feed.

The Adele penguin is a penguin that lives in Africa near the equator, like the rock hopper penguin, so the Adele penguin is used to warm weather. P.S. The Emperor penguin lives in Antarctica so in the summer or not it would be freezing any ways!


Is there a food chain of an adelie penguin?

Forgive me if I am wrong, but I'm quite certain there are a few animals that would eat penguins. Polar bears are right at the top, but I think that some of these others have a part in this: seals/sealions, whales and arctic foxes or wolves. Once again, sorry if this information is incorrect as I haven't much knowledge in the way of animal food chains. i am sorry but wolves, as well as ar would not be eatingthe adelie penguins due to the fact that the penguins spend sic foxescto much time in the frigid waters, however there are sea lions and leopardseals that feed on the adelie penguins.


What would happen to food chain if the African penguin became extinct?

If the African penguin were to become extinct, it would disrupt the food chain as they are both predator and prey. Their absence would affect the populations of the fish and squid they feed on, potentially leading to changes in the abundance of other species dependent on these prey items.

Who has a penguin on Club Penguin you can borrrow?

Club Penguin always advise people not to give out their penguin, however I am sure there is someone you could find who would be happy to "rent" you their penguin, or an unwanted penguin. Look around on forums and suchlike, although you would probably be better of asking people on chats related to the topic - as most penguin info publically broadcasted has been hacked and the penguin will probably already be banned - or on Safe Chat which sucks. You should also make sure the penguin you are "borrowing" does actually belong to the person who has given you the information. It wouldn't be very nice if they were giving you a penguin that THEY had been entrusted in. Hope this helps and there's no point asking for penguins on a place like this as if anyone sees they will just log on and ban it. - Sheimi492
