The Emperor Penguin!

Emperors are the largest of all penguins an average bird stands some 45 inches tall. These flightless animals live on the Antarctic ice and in the frigid surrounding waters. Penguins employ physiological adaptations and cooperative behaviors in order to deal with an incredibly harsh environment, where wind chills can reach -76°F. They huddle together to escape wind and conserve warmth. Individuals take turns moving to the group's protected and relatively toasty interior. Once a penguin has warmed a bit it will move to the perimeter of the group so that others can enjoy protection from the icy elements. Penguins are birds but they cannot fly and they are carnivores, and can weigh up to 88lbs.

 

Emperor penguins are by far my favorite bird there is because they are so adorable and cool looking, and they can slide on their belly and they hunt under the icy water for their food. What isn’t there to like about them? Some have really cool designs on them to look more presentable for the females. I Chose this animals because ever since I was a kid I really wanted a penguin to have as my own. I could move to the arctic and make a igloo for me to live in outside of the penguin colony. Well that’s all I have to really talk about penguins other than they are the coolest birds on the planet!
