Whats the biggest penguin? Its an Emperor
Penguin. When do Emperor Penguins raise
their kids? In the middle of winter.
The Emperor Penguins are one of the only
penguins that live in Antarctica. One of the
other habitats is Africa. Its almost impossible
to have anything live there. The Emperor
Penguins are the biggest penguins. Even its
summer, the temperature is just 0 C.
Antarctica is the coldest and windiest place on
Earth.
In Antarctica the ice is melting. The Emperor
Penguins have to squish together so they dont
get eaten.

The penguins inside downy feathers can be

insulated. They have more feathers than any
other bird on Earth. Penguins have blubber to
keep them warm.
The female lays one egg and the male hatches

Did you know that penguins cant fly? Even
though they are a bird! If you thought that all
penguins live in Antarctica, you are wrong!
Little Penguins are the smallest species of
penguin in Australia and New Zealand. You
might not be able to look at one for a while
because they are very small. They are not
actually called Little Penguins, they are
actually called Little Blue Penguins.
Some of their predators are cats, dogs, rats,
foxes, large reptiles, and ferrets. There are
only 23 in the world but the population is
going up. This is weird but the Little Blue
Penguins arent that little. They are blue and
not black like other penguins.

Little Blue Penguins are shy, adventurous, and

playful. Their diet includes fish, krill, and
sometimes squid. One good thing about
penguins is that theyre cute. The bad thing is
that they are losing their habitat and penguins
cant fly somewhere else.

March of the Penguins

By Kaelen
Did you know that while the father Emperor
Penguin takes care of the egg the mother
marches to get food? Antarctica is where
Emperor Penguins live. It is a super cold place.
The female Emperor Penguins lay the egg and
the male looks after the egg. Penguins walk a
very long way, and the father penguins have to
walk with the eggs on their feet.
Penguins huddle to stay warm. Penguins
feathers keep them warm. The chicks cant
stay warm by themselves so the fathers keep
them warm. Chicks can die if they get too
cold. Penguins can not stay still in the cold for
a long time.
Did you know that penguins can swim but they
cannot fly? For a long time the father has no

food while it waits for the mother penguin to

come back. After four years the chicks will live
at sea. But when the warm days begin to cool
off at night and the penguins are older it is
their time to take care of themselves.

hungry. The penguins feathers are gray and
yellow. The fathers keep the chick under their
belly and they hold their feet up off the ice.
Thats how they keep their babies in the egg
warm. If the babies got cold they would die!
