Polar bears will eat fish, but this is rare behavior as fish free swimming would be hard for them to catch. Penguins are not found in the Arctic region where polar bears are found. Polar bears eat mainly seals, and scavenge dead whales, but will eat most anything.
Why are emperor penguins in danger of extiction?
Oil spills are probably the biggest problems for penguins. The oil gets on their feathers and they get it in their beaks when they preen. Since they don't fly and must surface often to breathe, penguins are unable to avoid being coated if oil is on the surface of the water. Also their eggs will contain traces of oil in them too. This is a problem because it either kills the embryo inside or the oil deforms the developing chick. Penguins cannot see the oil coming and neither can most humans. On July 23, 2000, the oil tanker "The Treasure" sank, leaving a huge mass of oil. The company SANCCOB, a rehabilitation organization, immediately started helping the penguins. Still, almost 40% of the African Penguin population was oiled.
Along the coast of Argentina, Magellanic penguins are killed, not by oil accidents, but by the routine operations of large oil tankers. Empty tankers must fill their tanks with water for (to act as weight) purposes. Then, within about two miles before filling with oil, the oily water must be discharged -- directly into the ocean.Where does the adelie penguin live?

What do these birds have in common the emu the penguin and the ostrich?
Emus and ostriches are both large, long-necked, flightless birds with excellent vision. They belong to the same order of birds - ratites - but are not in the same family.
They are both long-endurance and powerful runners, with hugely developed hind limb extensor muscles. Their thigh bones are short and almost horizontal. Their relatively compact bodies give them a centre of gravity directly above their speeding feet, which enhances maneuverability and balance.
How big is a chicken egg to a penguin egg?
seagull's eggs are about the size of an average chicken egg to 2x the size.
All mammals (inc birds) require water to survive. Penguins are no exception and will take what water they can find. Penguins are quite unique, however, as they can drink salt water whilst at sea - using special glands around their eye sockets to extract the salt from their blood and is then excreted from the nose/nasal passage as a liquidy form. So if you see a penguin with a runny nose, it isn't cold, it's just removing excess salt :) yes
