Penguins

The male is nourished by the female but if the female does not return with food once the chick has hatched, he produces 'penguin milk' from his digestive system and regurgitates it for the chick. The young birds go to sea at about five months.

Some penguins are considered carnivores because they eat shoal fish, small crustaceans, squid, krill, shrimp, small fish, and octopus.

Yes, penguins do urinate. They have kidneys that filter waste products from their blood, which are then excreted as urine. Penguins expel their urine through a single opening called a cloaca, along with their feces.

I have no idea, but other penguins do not migrate.

Penguins feed on Krill, fish, Squid and other sealife caught whilst swimming.

Antarctic birds and mammals - penguins, whales and seals - are warm blooded animals and they maintain similar internal body temperatures to warm blooded animals in any other climate zone - that is about 35-42°C (95-107°F). They have to keep high body temperatures to remain active. Tropical animals with more variable body temperatures such as reptiles and amphibians can warm up by basking in the sun if they cool down - and they never cool down that much. A large (bigger than a small insect) Antarctic animal will never get enough energy from the surroundings to become active if it allows itself to cool (there are exceptions at the other end of the size scale amongst very small insects and mites and in the fish) so they have to stay warm to be active.

Hello year 10 BHS

Yes, penguins are warm-blooded animals. They are able to maintain a relatively constant internal body temperature independent of their external environment. This helps them survive in the cold temperatures of their natural habitats.

The Emperor Penguin is the largest species of penguin, standing about 3.7 feet tall and weighing up to 90 pounds. They are known for their distinctive black and white coloring and their ability to survive in harsh, icy conditions.

Some biotic factors that live with the Macaroni Penguin include krill, squid, fish, seals, and other seabirds. These organisms are part of the Macaroni Penguin's food web and ecological community in its habitat.

no, all penguins eat fish so they are carnivores
Since an penguin is subjected to cold environments, the only food they will eat is fish. Plant life can't grow very well in the colder regions. They are a type of carnivore (meat eater), known as a piscivore (fish eater).

The main reasons involve the feathers and the skeleton. Special feathers are required for flight and the "Flightless Birds" have none of these special feathers. There is a unique part of the breastbone called the ridge. An extended part in the center of the breastbone is where the stronger muscles used for the wing movement are anchored. Finally the flightless birds have solid bones to transfer blood and oxygen through the bones themselves. Flight able birds have hollow bones to actually lighten the internal structure and weight of the bird. They also have much heavier blood vessels to transfer blood and oxygen to the limbs.

Penguins live strictly in the South Pole and in parts of South America very close to the South Pole. People say polar bears eat penguins but they can't because polar bears live at the north pole.

Yes, penguins can live in warm climates but precisly cold climate penguins can not live in warm climates, but if a cold climate new born penguin hatched in a warm climate it can be possible but they wouldent live for very long.

Female penguins hunt for food first because they need to replenish their energy reserves after laying eggs and incubating them. By hunting early, they ensure they have enough food to sustain themselves and feed their chicks while the male stays to guard the nest.

Atoms are considered the smallest building blocks of matter in the world. They are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons, which are even smaller particles.

A penguin is an aquatic hunter usually in Antarctic waters. This is a broad description of the niche of a 'generic' penguin.

You can add details as you wish. You could define which species of penguin whose niche you are describing, the types of fish they hunt, that they are amphibious, that they are prey for leopard seals, etc.

No, they're not. But they only eat fish, so every other carnivore in Antarctica likes to pick on penguins.

The role of all living things - strictly from a biological point of view - is to survive in order to reproduce. The global role is really to keep the species going.

So a penguin's role for his species is to be strong, healthy, find food and reproduce as much as possible.

For humans, a penguin's role might be to look cute for our entertainment and star in popular children's films.

yes because of the way they waddle and play all the time ***2nd answerer says: So they can find another penguin with which to mate! . . . 3rd answer Because they just are they way that rock hoppers have yellow feathered heads and they belly slide across the ice!!! They are just SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And they are just sooooooo perfect and fat and fluffy!!!! hehehehe No, seriously, THEY ARE!! :D

No, the North Pole is uninhabited. It is located in the Arctic Ocean and covered by drifting sea ice, making it extremely difficult for people to live there. Scientists and researchers may visit temporarily, but there are no permanent residential communities at the North Pole.

New World by signing the Mayflower Compact, which established a form of self-government based on majority rule. This helped them establish a democratic foundation for their community in Plymouth Colony.

A penguin cell contains organelles such as the nucleus (controls cell activities), mitochondria (produces energy), endoplasmic reticulum (protein synthesis), Golgi apparatus (processing and packaging of proteins), and lysosomes (digestion of waste material). These organelles work together to ensure the cell's proper functioning and survival.

Penguins are carnivores and eat only sea-food. Their favorite food includes fish (especially anchovies), krill, and squid. Penguins catch food with their beaks and swallow it whole while swimming. Penguins have a spiny throat of which the fish (when consumed) gets stuck in the spines and suffocates to death. The penguin then swallows. They also have powerful jaws to grip slippery prey. Every year, penguins will go through fasting periods (a period of time when they don't eat). Before fasting begins, penguins eat a lot and build a layer of fat in their bodies, which will provide them with energy during the fasting period.

Most penguins feed on schooling fish, krill, and squid. Species that dine mostly on fish have bills that are hooked to help them capture prey, but bill shape alone does not determine what penguins eat. While each species has a favorite food, penguins will eat whatever is available. This flexibility has allowed them to adapt to changes in their environment. Penguins locate prey by sight and this can be problematic because the deeper a penguin dives, the darker it gets. Penguins overcome this because most squid and krill migrate daily to the surface, allowing penguins to stay within 100 meters of the surface. Species that hunt at night take advantage of the bio-luminescence (glow-in-the-dark) nature of prey.

Penguins primarily get their water by consuming small amounts of snow or ice. They can also obtain water from the fish and other marine creatures that they eat. Penguins have specialized glands near their eyes to help them remove excess salt from their bodies.
