How do you gather twigs in fly like bird 3?
Twigs are typically found in trash bins and on streets. I highly recommend you get twigs from the street, as you will usually crash on trash bins and lose a life. Basically, what you need to do is follow the orange arrow on the small screen in the top-left corner. It will lead you to a twig. :)

Yes, some bats do live in the tundra. Usually there are not a lot of them in any particular area because the simple habitats in the tundra can't support more than a small group of them.

How can you bring out the yellow in your eyes?
you can either wear a yellow shirt or some yellow hair accesories like headbands and barretts! this works the same way with other colors too.
Are penguins more intelligent than other birds?
No, parrots seem the most intelligent than any other birds because they learn quicker than other birds,that's why parrots are the only birds that really know how to talk and they learn to repeat people so they learn more and have a great memory of what people say.
Penguins are probably the second most intelligent birds.
How do the outer coverings of the polar bear and penguin help them to keep warm?
the polar bear has black skin and white fur. the black color absorbs heat, but the white color reflects heat. so when the polar bear gives off heat from its body, the white fur reflects the heat back to the skin and the black skin absorbs the heat, keeping the bear warmer.
Same thing goes to the penguin.
Do any penguins have black bellies and black backs?
No penguin species has a black belly and black back. The white belly with darker back is an environmental adaptation. The white front makes it harder for predators to see penguins when they are swimming.
What penguin can swim up to 40kmh but cant fly?
Penguins in general are excellent swimmers, but none of them can fly.
Why is it impossible to see a penguin and a polar bear in the wild at the same time?

Why do birds and fish fly in unison?
Fish do not fly in unison.
And it is a tactic used to confuse predators.
Penguins are wild animals, but they can care for themselves they have a natural instinct that they know when and how to hunt for food as in Fish and Krill
What types of penguins are endangered?
There are 17 species of penguins and they are all protected, meaning they cannot be hunted legally, or have their eggs collected. Despite this protection, penguin populations are decreasing, and in some areas they have decreased as much as 80%, but not all are endangered yet.
Under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), the penguin which is most at risk is the Galapagos penguin. It is listed as endangered, and this essentially means it is in danger of extinction within the foreseeable future throughmost of its range.
Currently, the African penguin is also under consideration for being added to this endangered species list.
The Southern Rockhopper is under consideration for being included on the threatened list.
Under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), the Humboldt penguin is also listed as endangered.
Under the IUCN listing, the Erect Crested penguin and the Yellow eyed penguin are listed as endangered.
The status of the other penguins is as follows:
- Gentoo penguin - Near threatened
- Magellanic penguin - Near threatened
- Rockhopper penguin - Vulnerable (population declining)
- Macaroni penguin - Vulnerable (population declining)
- Fiordland crested penguin - Vulnerable (population declining)
- Snares Island penguin - Vulnerable (population small but currently stable)
- Royal penguin - (Vulnerable - population still recovering from being exploited in the past)
- Emperor penguin - Least concern (population stable)
- King penguin - Least concern (population stable or increasing)
- Adelie penguin - Least concern (population increasing in some regions, decreasing in others)
- Chinstrap penguin - Least concern
- Fairy penguin - Least concern
How do penguins blend in with their environment?
Penguins are not one of the best examples of camouflage when they are on the ice in Antarctica. That is because their black back gives them away against the white ice.
However, that tuxedo coloration is useful underwater. This is because an animal underneath a penguin would have difficulty seeing its underbelly against the light coming from the surface. From above the penguin, its dark back blends in with the dark depths of the ocean.
Is a penguin endangered threatened or abundant?
It is completely dependent on the species of penguin you refer to. The Galapagos species is listed as endangered, however the Emperor penguin is not.
