The ancestors of penguins lived in a temperate climste - when Antarctica was not yet bound by a glacier. The climate on the planet was changing. Continents drifted, Antarctica shifted to the South Pole and was covered with enternal ice. The animals left there or died out and the penguins having adapted to the cold remained. Penguins feed on Antarctic silverfish, anchovies or sardines, as well as crustaceans and small cephalopods, which they hant by swollowing directly underwater. Prnguins also have neighbords-polar bars. Both are forced to swim in the sea in search of food, because the land is covered with valley, hills and mountains of ice as well as a desert with sand.
The maximum weight of a male is 50 kg. famales weigh 32 kg. They usually lay 1-2 eggs. Penguin babies are colled penguins or chicks. Parents prefer the older and larger chick, for example, it regularly receives more food than the one that hatched later, as a result of which the second chick in most cases soon dies. Penguins babies stay with their mother for 2-3 weeks untill they grow up to live in the world on their own.
Their number reaches 20 million individuals in the wild. Some of them are in the zoos.
Pinguins are birds, but they can't fly. The pinguin's obesity is similar to a tuxedo and they strut around, so many people(and I) consider them very cute.
