  1. Penguins by Cara Padgett

  2. There are five different groups of animals with vertebrates. • They are: • Mammals • Fish • Reptiles • Birds • Amphibians

  3. There are certain characteristics that make the penguin a bird. A penguin is warm-blooded. They breathe using their lungs. The penguin’s skin is covered in feathers, but most penguins can’t fly. The penguin reproduces babies by laying eggs.

  4. Penguin Appearance • They have feathers close together to keep the penguin warm. • Their tail is used to balance on land and it is used to steer in the water. • They use their claws to grip on ice. • Penguins are warm-blooded and they have wings, but can’t fly.

  5. Camouflage The color of most penguins is white, yellow, and black. The African penguin’s size is about 2 feet tall. They weigh 6 to 8 pounds. They camouflage by laying on their back so the white side blends in with the snow. Then whales and seals won’t see them and try to eat them. Save The pEnGuInS!

  7. What Penguins Eat • Penguins eat fish, squid, and krill. • They have a crop pocket in their throat and it is used to store food. • The penguin’s bill is sharp for catching fish and squid.

  8. Habitat Penguins live only below the equator. Some live in cold weather around the South Pole. They can be found in South America, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.

  9. Penguins are Expert Swimmers. Penguins are birds that cannot fly, but penguins swim very well and spend most of their lives in the sea. African penguins can swim at a speed of about 4 to 15 miles per hour. They have webbed feet that helps them go fast.

  10. Diet They live near cold oceans where they can find lots of food to eat. African Penguins are carnivore. That means they are meat eaters who hunt in the sea. They eat fish. They really like sardines, anchovies, and squid.
