PENGUINS

Penguins are a group of flightless aquatic birds living almost exclusively in the Southern
Hemisphere, particularly in Antarctica. Highly adaptive to live in the sea, penguins have counter
shaded dark and white feather, and their wings have evolved into flippers. Most penguins feed
squid, fish, and other forms of sealife caught while they are swimming underwater. They spend
about half of their lives in the oceans.
Eventhough all penguin species are native to the Southern Hemisphere, they do not live only in
cold climates, such as Antarctica. In fact, only a little species of penguin live too far south. Some
species are found in the temperate area, and one species, the Galpagos penguin, lives not too far
with the equator.
The vast living species is the emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri): when they are adults they
are about 1.1 m (3 ft 7 in) tall and 35 kg weight or more. The smallest one is the little blue
penguin (Eudyptula minor), which is known as the fairy penguin, which stands around 40 cm
height and 1 kg weight. Among the species of penguin, larger penguins live in colder regions,
while smaller penguins generally inhabit tropical climates places. Some prehistoric species of
penguin attained enormous sizes, becoming as heavy as an adult human.

cancer. Apples contain relatively low amounts of vitamin C as well as several other antioxidant
