Penguins

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.

A Water Bird, is a bird that usually fly around the water, and they eat the fish when they catch it straight from the ocean, lake, or river. And Dragonfly is a lot smaller and they do not, eat fish from the ocean, lake or river. They just fly around the lakes and rivers and mate with each other and usually eat like flies, mosquitoes.

Penguins do not fly. Their wings are too small to support the body weight.

Although some species of penguin may prefer being alone, emperor penguins typically feed in small groups. They exhibit extreme mating and social behavior and "speak" to each other often using many different signs.

they run in the water ...unless the predator is in the water. In which case they jump out of the water. You can simply say that they flee.

They are definitely secondary consumers because they get eaten by sharks so it just all makes sense.

They are camouflaged so that predators looking up from below, such as a seal beneath the ice, cannot tell the difference between the belly of the penguin and the surrounding ice, snow or water; their black plumage disguises them from predators above them in the water as it looks like the depths of the ocean. Their wings have become like flippers, allowing them to move at incredible speeds through the water. Their feathers can trap air bubbles to make them buoyant and stop them from sinking too low unwillingly. Emperor Penguins can dive for 22 minutes at depths of up to 565m when hunting, making them the species of Penguin that can dive the deepest and for the longest time. They can use their wings and tails as balance when upright so they can look for predators. Emperor Penguins have the largest body mass of all penguins, which reduces surface area and, therefore, heat loss in the arctic conditions. They have webbed feet which spreads their weight out on the snow and acts like snow shoes, stopping them from sinking beneath the snow.

You can't, they are a protected wild species. The only way you would ever get to care for one is if you were a licensed wildlife rescue officer and then it would be for ill or abandoned animals, until they were well enough to be returned to the wild. It would be cool though if you could!

Forgive me if I am wrong, but I'm quite certain there are a few animals that would eat penguins. Polar bears are right at the top, but I think that some of these others have a part in this: seals/sealions, whales and arctic foxes or wolves. Once again, sorry if this information is incorrect as I haven't much knowledge in the way of animal food chains.

i am sorry but wolves, as well as ar would not be eatingthe adelie penguins due to the fact that the penguins spend sic foxescto much time in the frigid waters, however there are sea lions and leopardseals that feed on the adelie penguins.

It is difficult to track their migration patterns, but most of the penguins travel inland to the breeding sites in early spring. After breeding, the adults and their chicks return to the sea to feed.

"The African Penguins have been decreasing, by 60 percent now, since 2004, so that's why we are all very worried," said Lorien Pichegru of the Percy FitzPatrick Institute of African Ornithology.

"There's 26,000 pairs left and that's the lowest number ever recorded. At the beginning of the 20th century we had more than 2 million birds."

birds. penguins arent mammals bcuz they lay eggs and mammals dont.

You can google this as well, but reports show there are less than 1000 breeding pairs left in the world....so sad.

Standing an average of 1m tall (adult). the mperor penguin is a mammal, not a bird, that lives in large groups. They are black all over except for the stomach which is white and they also have orange beaks. No feathers can be found on an emperor penguin, but they have alot of fat and fur to keep themselves warm.

Hope this helps, pete :P

The Emperor Penguin lays a single egg each breeding season, which takes place in winter The male incubates the egg while the female goes out to feed in the ocean, and she generally does not return until spring. Incubation takes around 65 days, and during this time, the male survives on his own reserves of fat.

When lakes and other bodies of water freeze, only the top foot or so actually freezes, and because fish aren't mammals so they don't have to surface for air like sea mammals do (like whales and stuff), it's ok that the top part of the water is frozen. Hence, ice fishing.......So all in all the fish are just fine....

penguins have downy feathers so they can keep them selfs and there eggs warm and dry

small baby penguins are 22 to 37 kg and medium penguins are 57 g

no they are not because migratory birds move from one place to another due to seasons changing. Penguins do not migrate because they live in the arctic regions and there is only one season there. one more thing, they cannot fly.
