What ecosystems do penguins live in?

Penguins are described as living in the Polar ecosystem. Others would argue that penguins actually live in the Arctic bionome.

How have humans impacted penguins?

Well, going onto the topic of Global Temperature Change, we humans have a large number for our CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) emissions. And those emissions then cause the "greenhouse effect" which is good in some sense since it prevents us from freezing to death by keeping it warm enough.

THEN, warmer climate in bizarre areas, like where the penguins live, causes ice to melt. Penguins can't swim forever. For that I'm pretty darn sure. (Esp. w/ the mating season, the egg might sink. But, then again I don't know the density of an average penguin egg. XD)

THEREFORE, the whole main point is that we are destroying penguin habitats (Well, natural ones that is).

Your answer depends on the location of the penguin colony.

Ultimately, she returns -- about six to eight weeks later, and transfers the egg from his feet to her feet. Then the male travels about the same distance to feed in open water.

What cells do penguins have?

All animals have more than just one type of cell. You could look up different types of human cells and go from there, all warm blooded animals are basically the same at that level. There is an averaged number for how many cells a human has so surely there is someone who knows how many cells a penguin has. Try searching for a specific species of penguin. Not the greatest answer, but at least I"m not telling you its a stupid question like everyone else has.Really this is a stupid question.

Why do penguins rest eggs on their feet?

Penguins rest their eggs on their feet to keep them warm and protected from the cold ground and harsh environmental conditions. This method, known as brooding, allows the parent to maintain a stable temperature for the developing embryo. Additionally, it provides a safe spot away from potential predators. By using their feet, penguins can also easily rotate the eggs to ensure even incubation.

How are penguins adapted to living in Antarctica?

Penguins do not live on Antarctica: it's too cold and there is no food chain.

Penguins are sea birds and make their homes in salt water. They do, however, breed on Antarctica's beaches.

Penguins are covered with a layer of blubber that contains their warmth internally. As well, their feather patterns interlace, keeping water away from their skin. These physical phenomenon allow them to survive in polar waters.

As well, remember that open sea water is generally warmer than ambient Antarctic air. This means that the animals can return to the sea to warm up.
