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

because energy has to travel up the food chain, and by the 9th link there is very little energy for the animal to use
I am a penguin lover, and all I have to say to that is I don't like people that eat penguins!
I suppose that since they are birds, they would be considered to be poultry.
