What species of penguins live in the tundra?
Tundra is a cold icy climate found in 3 locations:-
- Alpine Tundra is found ate high altitudes anywhere on Earth.
- Arctic Tundra is found round the North pole of Earth.
- Antarctic Tundra is found round the South Pole of Earth.
Penguins are flightless, aquatic birds which are found mainly in the southern hemisphere, this means that Penguins:-
- do not live in the Arctic Tundra.
- are not found in the Alpine Tundra
Thus most species of penguin live in the Antarctic Tundra regions, but there are species of penguin that live and thrive further north than this (eg in South Africa, and on the equator in the Galapagos islands, well outside the area of tundra).
Do birds use their wings to swim?
most birds don't but the penguin does
NekoChibi-chan:
No, birds (as in ducks and geese) have very oily feather so they don't get wet. They use their legs to propel them through the water. When they become upset, they do "fly over the water and splash around with their wings a bit.
Penguins are small because that is just how God made them. He is so clever in giving different colors and sizes to them. Just like the little fairy penguin.
What is the life-cycle of a penguin?
When adults Adelie Penguins mate. Then they have you-know-what and the egg comes. The parents take turns taking care of it other while the other one searches for food. After it hatches it grows and start living independently.
How many eggs can a Penguin lay at once?
A penguin only ever lays one egg at a time, but some species lay two eggs several days apart.
The Emperor Penguin and the King Penguin lay just one egg.
All other species lay two eggs, although in several species, the first egg often does not hatch or is not incubated. This is the case for the Erect-Crested Penguin, the Macaroni Penguin, the Royal Penguin, the Snares Penguin and the Rockhopper Penguin. Galapagos Penguins may lay either 1 or 2 eggs.
Penguins can only lay up to one or two eggs per year, but the Emporer and King Penguin can only have up to one egg per year
one a year for most breeds.
Keeping it warm is a full time job.
penguins have only one (1) egg per year that they mate.
If a penguin has more than one egg, one will die, or it will care for neither properly.
Depending on the type of penguin and the size of the egg, penguins lay either one or two eggs at a time, which they hatch.
'Having babies' is not usually used as descriptive terminology for birds: laying and hatching eggs is appropriate.
normally, penguins only have one chick at a time, but they can have two (it is VERY rare for a pengui to have two chicks at one time.)
1 per pair
Penguins can only lay up to one or two eggs per year, but the Emporer and King Penguin can only have up to one egg per year
Why are royal penguins endangered?
Emperor penguins are so far listed as least concerned so they are yet to be endangered, they are one of the most common Antarctic penguins.

However, I have read (I love penguins) that although they are listed as "least concerned", they might soon be (if they are not already) place on the endangered list due to Global Warming. Emperor Penguins need Sea Ice to survive and breed. Other causes of near endangerment may also include other problems with their natural habitat, oil spills boating incidents, pollution, and hunting.
How do lichens adapt to the cold?
lichen adapt cold condition because they are made of fur and thick branch which can survive in cold it usally grows in rock because it keep away from cold and snow and keep them warms as well it has 500 spieces of lichen in aectic.
Why don't peguins feet freeze?
To stay warm, penguins have a thick layer of feathers which has 24 feathers per square inch. A penguin has a thick, blubbery body that carries the penguin low to the ground so that less cold air can circulate around it. In addition, penguins have nasal passages that minimize heat loss when they exhale.
Is there penguin at north pole?
No. While polar bears do live throughout much of the Arctic, they, like any animal, need to be reasonably close to a food source and the North Pole is much, much too far from their food source (mostly seals) .
