How do penguins keep cool in warm places?
Penguins in warmer places have thinner feathers and a thinner at layer than penguins in Antartica. If they get too warm they move into a shady spot and pant. They hold their wings out in the breeze to cool them. Can penguins breathe underwater? No, penguins are birds not fishes! Penguins hold their breathe for a few minutes while they dive. They usually dive down 20 to 40 metres. How do penguins say “I love you”? Penguins use displays to show how they feel. A male penguin may do a lot of head bowing, or wave his wings about. He may also stand up straight with his wings held as far back as he can reach and make a loud wailing sound. Male Adelie penguins often bring females a gift of a stone. Stones are valuable to these penguins because they use them to build nests. Males give these presents to show they would make a good partner. Why are penguins black and white? Penguins have black backs and white bellies to help them escape predators when they are in the water. Animals swimming above
