Penguins

No, it's a breed of penguin. It's the most recognizable breed, to be sure, but there are 16 other breeds (eg. Rockhopper, Adeliè, Maccaronni, Chinstrap, African, Gentoo, etc)

Fish

King penguins swim in the ice-free areas of the Southern Ocean. They live and breed on sub-Antarctic islands such as the Falklands, which were re-colonised after extermination, South Georgia, Marion, Prince Edward, Crozet where most of the world's population lives, Kerguelen, Heard Island where they have also been re-colonised after extermination, and Macquarie Island.

It really just depends on the species and where they breed. Chinstrap Penguins, of whom usually live on the edge of the coast or on the end of islands in the Antarctic Circle, only have to go as far as the end of the island and maybe a couple hundred metres 'till they find some fish. Sometimes it is up to a couple of kilometres.

For some of the larger penguins, such as Kings and Emperors, they can go up to 100km to get to the water in the winter in a late breeding season as they live far in from the coast and the antarctic ice is quite unrelenting. The Emperor and King penguins, however, can expand their stomachs until they almost burst full of food, which, considering the size of these particular species, is quite a lot. This is enough for both the father and the child and some more for a few weeks until she goes again.

For different, smaller species it can be anywhere from 2.5km to the coast to up to about 30-50km, depending on the species. This is still no small feat, considering the size of those little Rockhoppers.

Hope this solved your question,

Cheers.

All penguins live in the Southern hemisphere, though the Galapagos penguin lives pretty much on the equator. There are 17 commonly recognized species of penguin: 10 live in warm climates. There are two species of penguin on mainland South America, one species in Africa, one in Australia and New Zealand and several on small islands. The other seven species of penguin are the cold weather species that live on Antarctica and the islands around it.

Penguins are endangered by Global Warming, the warmth from the sun due to CO2 is causing it to be hot. The polar ice caps are melting, therefore the land for the penguins is becoming smaller and smaller each day. Penguins will be extinct before long due to our fault.

Most of your penguins are going to live outside. They live on the ice in very cold temperatures and places.

Just because penguins, ostriches, emus and kiwis don't fly doesn't automatically make them not birds. They still have the same characteristics that make them birds like all other birds have: a beak, feathers, porous bones, etc.

The ability to fly is not part of the definition of what makes a bird.

the yellow-eyed penguin is listed as an endangered animal with an estimated wild population of less than 4,000 individuals. It is now the rarest penguin in the world due to deforestation and the introduction of predators.

Water buffalo can be very aggressive if threatened. They use their horns, hooves, and even their teeth to fight off predators that threaten their young or other members of the herd.

It deepens on the species, the Galapagos penguins live at the equator!. Something to consider: Of the 18 species of penguins that exist in the world only TWO of them live in the Antarctic. As a matter of fact, the Galapagos penguins live in temperatures that frequently exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit!

The male Emperors balance the egg on their feet and cover them with their brood pouch to protect them from the harsh cold wind on the Antarctic ice. They care for them for two months. During this period, the females go on a hunting trip.

Because it helps them move through the water faster.

Further information:

Penguins spend much of their time in the sea, which is their source of food. Flippers are needed to enable them to swim, in order to catch their food. Penguins' wing bones are fused straight, rather than angled like a flying bird's, and this has the effect of making the wing rigid and powerful, like a flipper. The small wings and a streamlined body shape are ideal for diving in water, and also give the penguin extra speed when swimming.

A group of penguins is called "a waddle of penguins".

Penguins live on land but they can swim in water.

no they have a black beak and black feet. but they have a little orange on there beak

To fly/swim underwater, not to be confused with frolicking.

No they don't , in the day they swim about and find food for the young ones.

Yes the penguin is classified as a bird. However, it is a flightless bird. In other words, a bird that cannot fly. They have flippers that seem like wings for water not air.
Yes, a penguin is a bird.

No, only females can lay eggs. Male animals do not lay eggs or deliver young.

In some species, the male penguin does incubate the egg (keeping it balanced on his feet) while the female penguin goes out to sea to eat.

The oily feather help the emperor penguin because it stops liquid water substance from been tripped within the penguin's feathers. The oily feathers enables the water to run down the penguin's body to avoid any liquid water.

Penguins are, for the most part, diurnal. However since most penguins live in Antarctica where the day is 6 months long it's hard to describe them in the usual terms of diurnal/nocturnal.

Emperor penguins, for example are active the whole summer while they stay snuggled together the whole winter. They take short naps like most birds and never really sleep for more than a few minutes at a time.
