Penguins

Snares Island, New Zealand

Praying mantises take out big chunks of small ones - but not whole snakes.

Bigger lizards may along with many other creatures.

Penguins are considered birds because the only types of animals are amphibians, reptiles, mammals, birds, and fish. A penguin doesn't seem like a fish because it doesn't have gills, nor does it stay underwater. Penguins aren't amphibians nor reptiles because of their traits and styles of their body sytems. They aren't mammals because mammals have fur, and penguins have feathers. They're birds because of basically their whole body: feathers, beaks, talons, etc. At least, that's my theory.

When an Emperor Penguin drops its egg, because the ice is so cold it immediately kills the chick as it basically freezes to death. The chick is developing and therefore needs warmth to survive, and when it is dropped it loses the warmth that is vital to it and the cold Antarctic Ice kills it.

The skua eats penguin eggs, baby penguins, and sometimes, old, weak penguins. They may also eat many other weak or hurt animals.

they are called hens

Emperor penguins are serially monogamous. They will have one mate for a season, but the next year they might find a new mate.

humans can not protect themselves. you are talking about penguins

The life span is about 20 to 25 years, but normally the lifespan is 15 to 20 years!

Yes penguins have wings, however, they are more evolved as flippers for swimming and are useless towards flying. This is also why any pictures of penguins in the water look like they are "flying" in the water.

Long necks help birds in wetlands see possible predators. They may be in areas of reeds where sight is difficult.

penquins are being extinct because people are throwing garbage in the ocean and the penquins are eating the garbage so they are being extinct today.Also because th water they lived in is unfrizzing antrtica is unfrezzing thats why penquins are being extinct today.

Penguins are covered in feathers, not fur. Penguins molt once each year. During this time, the birds lose all of their feathers.

The penguin has waterproof feathers and an about 3cm thick layer of fat whock keeps it warm. The fat is a good insulator which is especially important to the young ones in the winter. Many penguin types as the emperor penguin also huddle together to stay warm. depending on where it lives, the Penguin also has different sizes. The smaller it is, the less exposed it is to the wind.

they are usually white...but it depends what penguin it is.

All Emperor Penguins eat fish, shrimp, cephalopod (witch is a type of squid) , krill, and crustaceans. Most Emperor Penguins zig - zag through the water to their food. The Emperor Penguin can swim up to 25 miles per. hr. And the Emperor Penguin can swim as deep as 1755 feet or deeper in the water. The Emperor Penguin can hold its breath for 18 minutes. So the penguin swims really fast by zig - zaging.

When the penguin is hunting a fish and is swimming above it, the fish doesn't notice anything. When it is hunting from below the fish doesn't notice anything. This is caled countershading and it is a form of camoflouge.

There is really only one predator for the adult Emperor Penguin, and that is the Orca. The Leopard Seal, does take some adults, but prefers fledglings, when they first try swimming out in the water. The other dangers for this species is for the chicks. The Southern Giant Petrel kills chicks, often many in a single colony.

Well up to about 2-3 feet tall as tall as a baby (I said about it might not be exactly that height).

yes, they do. A good movie to watch if you want to learn more about penguins is "March Of The Penguins". It will tell you everything you want to know. If you don't have the movie rent it or search it and watch it online.

The penguin uses its beak to catch fish. It also uses its vestigial wings as flippers, making it a very fast and agile swimmer.

The most immediate threat to the emperor penguin is climate change. Other threats to the penguin include predators like sharks, leopard seals, orcas, and sea lions.

Only live penguins are in zoological gardens and dead ones in museums. No wild penguins in England.
