Emperor Penguinss Research Paper

Penguins ( family Spheniscidae, order Sphenisciformes) are a group of flightless, aquatic birds living exclusively in the Southern Hemisphere, particularly in Antarctica. Well-adapted for life in the water, these birds have countershaded white and black plumage, and their wings have evolved into flat, paddle-like flippers. They feed on squid, fish, krill and other forms of sealife. Penguins spend half of their lives in the oceans and half on land. This list contains 10 unusual facts about penguins you may not know.

espite their small size, sea dragons are carnivorous animals and therefore have a purely meat-based diet. The sea dragon uses its pipe-like snout to suck its prey into its oddly tooth-less mouth. Sea dragons hunt crustaceans, plankton, shrimp and even small fish, using their camouflage to their advantage. Sea dragons have numerous natural predators in the south and western coastal waters of Australia but are rarely even spotted to the elaborate camouflage of the sea dragon. Those few sea dragons that are unlucky enough to be found, are usually spotted by large fish. As with sea horses, it is the male sea dragon who care for the eggs once they have been laid by the female. The female lays around 250 eggs onto the long tail of the male sea horse.

They consume a broad variety of fishes that include herring, pollock, salmon, cod, rockfishes, sculpin, squid, and shrimp. Adult Steller sea lions need to ingest 5-6% of their body weight every day in order to survive, and pups are required to consume twice the amount. Males can endure a month without eating when they are protecting their territories. In addition, Steller sea lions do not require water because they obtain it from the food. They usually swallow their food whole and feed in groups from 9 PM to 6 AM.

This article is about how Chinstrap Penguins are threatened by a volcanic eruption. A volcano in the northern part of the island of an archipelago in the South Atlantic Ocean has been ejecting ash and smoke since March. Of course that threatens all of the animals living there which is the Penguins, and its the largest colony of Penguins in the world according to new studies. These penguins can also not leave the island due to the volcano, and also can not lay or hatch eggs on the island, which will do a lot of damage and will be very hard to follow. Zavodovski Island is home to over one million Chinstrap Penguins, but humans do live there. None of the main effects will be known until the Penguins return to the island, in which 10 to 15 percent

Almost a month ago, my boyfriend and I paid a visit to the Dalton Little Theatre in Dalton, Georgia for the first time. The company had performed Mama Don’t Fly, which was a comedy, and we were fairly impressed with the production. I receive emails regularly now from Dalton Little Theatre and I was notified that they were putting on a rendition of Robert Lois Stephenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. I was still buzzing from the delightful performance the cast had given during the last show that I decided to return and see what they could do with a more somber toned show. Everything at the theatre appeared to be the same as the initial visit and I also sat in the same seats. Nonetheless, my expectations were quickly exceeded by the skilled cast.

“Antarctica has this mythic weight. It resides in the collective unconscious of so many people, and it makes this huge impact, just like outer space. It’s like going to the moon.” ( John Krakauer) The antarctic is home to lots of different animals. Some of these are Adelie, Gentoo and Emperor penguins. Other animals are Elephant and leopard seals as well as Snow petrel, polar skuas and albatrosses. Penguins are often the favorite.

We have it rather easy when it comes to childhood, especially compared to young arctic foxes’ lives. Sure we have to deal with stuff like chores, homework, bullies, etc., stuff that doesn’t even exist to young arctic foxes. .

In a modern age where communication through publication plays such a significant role, censorship challenges on some forms of media are not all that uncommon. A particular area of concern is how certain messages are being relayed to young children, and whether this information is necessarily age-appropriate. One ongoing debate is whether the children’s book, And Tango Makes Three, co-written by Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell, should have its place in libraries of elementary schools. The main source of conflict arising from this book is the implications of homosexuality. The book focuses on two penguins, Roy and Silo, who very clearly shows feelings of affection towards each other, and are determined to

One of the main argument that opponents have is that rehabilitated penguins have low survival rates. Post-release life expectancy and long-term survival rates are very low. Brain Sharp analysed reports from 1969 to 1994 on rehabilitated oiled Guillemot birds, and they found “post- release life expectancy was 9.6 days and long-term recovery rates were 10-20 % of those of non-oiled birds” (1996). Moreover, a German biologist named Silvia Gaus also made claims after Deepwater horizon oil spill, she said that it is more humane to euthanize the birds because it is more damaging than beneficial for birds (Spiegel Online, 2010). The efforts to clean the birds would not bring any significant change and the birds will eventually die because of internal

Before we begin, I would like to take the time out to express how happy I am about the person I interviewed. Coming into the interview, my tour guide expressed to me "that he is a pervert, and he can be a little mean/rude." After her telling me that, I immediately became a little nervous. Why? Because I came into this situation with the perception of trying to avoid someone of this nature. Turns out that my tour guide didn't do such a good job of explaining this guy. Him and I connected extremely well! And I was overwhelmed with joy, and so happy that we did. So, let's begin!

Penguins use their belly to reduce their body to drag in the water. You might not know this but the only reason why penguins have bird shaped wings , it's because once they dive in they can go up to 20 mph. If penguins start to keep still and not be active their body temp. Will start to decrease and they will be getting to the point where they will die eventually. During storm season out in the arctic penguins

Emperor Penguins are basically endangered species because the majority of colonies will have lost half of their populations by the end of the century. Every few minutes, emperor penguins leap out of the water when they are seeking for food. They are preyed on by seals and other animals, where they become vulnerable when entering and exiting water at the beginning and end of breeding seasons. The Emperor penguins mainly feed on fish, squid and krill. They search for their meals in the open sea or in the gaps in the sea ice. Like other penguins, they are expert swimmers, usually spending two and half to nine minutes underwater while diving to depths of more than 400

Charlotte Brontë a famous author said that,”Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilised by education: they grow there, firm as weeds among stones.” This illustrates how prejudice is a tough feeling to remove and once it is set it will never be removed. Education is the only way to combat it. It is Harper Lee’s essential message in the book To Kill a Mockingbird. In a small town in Maycomb, Alabama encompassed by prejudice two children Jem and Scout telling their tale. The main affair in this book concerns their father, Atticus who is a well respected legislative representative and lawyer. He is representing an honest black man by the name of Tom Robinson who has been accused of raping a white girl. Her name is Mayella Ewell who is part of one the poorest and most prideful families of the town. Arthur Radley is also another main subject in the town. Local children fear him because of myths and false stories about him. Scout narrates this entire story and offers her insight on events in the town. The book To Kill a Mockingbird portrays that prejudice is something that is engraved in the mind not born with, often it leads to pain and anguish, but through empathy and awareness the cycle of prejudice can be broken.

The ocean is a dangerous place, and in the water lies some of the most mysterious creatures, three of which are the Giant squid, Zombie worm, and the Yeti crab. The history of these three remarkable animals makes them some of the ocean's strangest creatures. Although, they all live in the ocean they each face many challenges each day to find food and stay on top of the food chain. Scientist are discovering new things about these underwater creatures every day, and are digging deeper into their distinct ways of life.The Giant squid, Zombie worm, and Yeti crab all have unique appearances and completely diffrent diets.
