There are two major predators of penguins in Antarctica, including orca whales and leopard seals. Skua birds sometimes eat unattended or dead penguin chicks.
Unfortunately, too often penguins can be caught accidentally in fishing nets, even when the boat is not fishing for penguins.
they eat fish, live in Antarctica are black and white don't fly swim well 1. Emperor penguins are the largest penguins. 2. Penguins are not the only birds that don't fly. 3. There are 17 types of penguins. 4. Emperor penguins are only found in Antarctica 5. Penguins were discovered 100 years ago (today is 2010 here). 6. Baby penguins are called chicks. 7.They lay eggs. 8.The African Penguin is the third most endangered species.

No creature lives in Antarctica, except for microscopic animals. However, many sea birds -- penguins, and sea mammals -- seals and whales, visit Antarctica' beaches to breed during breeding season.
macoroni,empior,there are only 5 I just learned that in my project.theres more but idk them its 11/9/2009
There are no native animals in Antarctica, however, several types of penguins, petrels, albatross and other sea birds come to Antarctica's beaches to breed. As well, many marine animals, including seals, whales and fish thrive in the Southern Ocean that surrounds the continent.
There are four species of penguins that breed on the coasts of Antarctica itself, and another three species found on the sub-Antarctic islands. Overall, there are millions of penguins. Of the true Antarctic species, there are approximately 2.5 million breeding pairs of Adelie penguins, 5 million breeding pairs of Chinstrap penguins, 238 000 breeding pairs of Emperor penguins and 320 000 breeding pairs of Gentoo penguins.
No penguins live at the South Pole because it's too far from the sea! Of the 18 species of penguin, only 5 live in Antarctica, and all but the emperor penguin leave Antarctica in the winter. The emperor penguin nests no more than 30 miles inland --- still 1470 miles from the south pole!Another AnswerPenguins are sea birds and make their homes in the sea where they find food. Four types of penguins breed on Antarctica's beaches, including the Emperor, Adelie, Chinstrap and Gentoo.The closest open water to the South Pole is about 750 miles, and the elevation of the South Pole is higher than 9,300 feet.Antarctica is too cold to support animal life of any kind, and there is no food chain there.OVER 9000WHAT 9000 that's impossible
Four abiotic factors in an eycosystem are snow, ice, and water, and temperature.Four biotic factors in a penguins ecosystem are bacteria, fish, krill, and the leopard seals!abiotic factors are all nonliving things in an ecosystem. biotic factors are the living things in a ecosystem. Abiotic and biotic combined make an ecosystem.
Rochhopper penguins can jump up to 5 feet!

No humans 'live' in Antarctica, but people representing many governments work there as scientists and in support of science, so ethnically, you'll always be companions with a rich mix of nationalities.
