Penguins

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.
