Peguins!!!!
Poor Peguins, being a flightless bird. But that doesn't stop them from being one of the zoo's favorites! They're are just so cute, and I had to make them the featured animal of the week!!! (These pictures are of the penguins from the Henry Vilas Zoo!!!)
Penguins:
~The penguins markings are called countershading, which helps them hide from predators.
~Penguins eat krill, fish, and squid, but penguins near the equator eat fish, while penguins near Antarctica eat more krill and squid.
~The life of a penguin is spent mostly in the water. (75% of it's life)
~Every Penguin has it's own unique "voice" or call so that when they call out, their chicks or mate would be able to know where they are.
Now that you've seen some of these penguins online and know more about them, go see what they're up to now!
