Summary Of ' September Of The Penguins '

“A devastating oil spill, 40,000 penguins and the humans that saved their lives” (Tarshish 15). The oil spilt from ships is toxic to the penguins. If people are not fast enough penguins could lose their lives. “The Amazing Penguin Rescue” and “Saving Penguins, One Sweater At A Time” have many similarities and differences such as conflict and the solution to helping the penguins.

The story of “Peacock In The Land Of Penguins”, written by B. J. Gallagher Hateley and Warren H. Schmidt was a uniquely structured book filling pages with short stanzas and at least one illustration of what’s going on in the story Bj Gallagher is known for writing books or making speeches about empowerment and understanding in ways that could be universally understood in our society. In this book it’s no different in being able to tackle mature situations in a way that even children can understand. She was competent in being able to bring these characters to life because the peacock was molded after Bj’s own personality and experiences. Personally, I wouldn’t have expected someone who had a doctorate from the University of Southern California

Physical exams are there to screen for the health of the penguins. Regular screenings help treat and prevent disease, parasites, and other illnesses. Monthly weights are attainable with training. Penguins can be trained to stand on a scale to allow for monthly weights which are great for seasonal changes such as molting and breeding. Blood sampling are also great tools for monitoring glucose, calcium, and many other blood component levels to look for deficiencies. During exams animals should have their eyes, feet, beak and mouth for any potential problems. Molting is very stressful for penguins and it uses a lot of energy thus requiring a nutritional change. Most penguins molt once a year after breeding however the African penguin molts longer. One institution had African penguins that molted every moth of the year between March and August. The molting period has both an increase in appetite and a fasting period due to natural wild behavior where during the actual molting the penguins would be stuck on land where food isn’t avaible. Wild African penguins have been reported to gain 31% weight during pre-molt and a 41% loss of body weight during molt. So some fasting in captivity is natural, however proper nutrition is important for both pre-molt and molting. The whole molting process takes an average of 16.75 days for African penguins. Also during molting flipper bands can be a problem due to swelling. If the band is too tight and

The articles from Lauren Tarshis and Dyan deNapoli and the video all describe penguin rescue efforts after the oil spill. The article "The Amazing Penguin Rescue" by Lauren Tarshis the main idea is that oil spills can cause lots of problems to the animals like the African Penguin. The other piece of text "The Amazing Penguin Rescue" the main idea is oil spills can cause problems that are hard to complete. It also shows how hard it is to clean them from the sticky oil. Finally the video the main idea is that even if we try hard to help them their habitat will never be the same.

Kathy Conlan is an expert in understanding the weird and wonderful world of marine creatures that live deep under the Arctic ice. She specializes in marine benthic biology and amphipod systematics. Kathy studies how human and natural changes affect marine life in the Arctic and Antarctic, the effects of pollution on marine life as well as global warming. She is past chief officer for Life Sciences in the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) and is a judge for SCAR’s Martha T. Muse Prize for Science and policy in Antarctica, represents Canada for the Canadian Committee on Antarctic Research, taught at Huntsman Marine Science Centre and Students On Ice, mentors university students and gives speaches and “Show and tells” at the museum.

When my friend and I met up for drinks, we talked about this disparity, and the smaller one on our screens. Scrolling through the options, we rejected the dancer and the unicorn and, in lieu of anything else, settled on a penguin. My friend was, we agreed, a penguin. Not a creature of mythical imagination, but something real. I’d read, I told her, a recent report about several hundred thousand penguins trapped by a collapsed glacier in Antarctica. Thousands had died, but the ones that survived did so only through perseverance — regularly traveling some 40 miles across barren nothingness to reach the ocean.

The lecturer reexamines the altruism behavior stated in the paragraph by more closerly examining the meerkats behaviour.

“I’ll give the conch to the next person to speak”, “We’ll have rules!”, “There aren’t any grownups\ We shall have to look after ourselves.”

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

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

The Emperor’s lifespan is about 18-20 years and during those years they learn to hunt, avoid the animals that prey on them, and reproduce. The Emperor Penguins prey on many aquatic animals, some more than others such as Silverfish. Silverfish is the main food source that the penguins eat (according to google) but it’s not the only source. They can also eat krill and squid. The Emperor Penguins are only 3.6

Emperor Penguins are carnivores which means they eat only meat so their diet consists of manly fish squid and krill. Even though people think penguins and emperor penguins are small creatures. they appetite is nowhere near small. They can eat upwards two 11 pounds of food a day. Except during breeding seasons, they eat as much as 13 pounds to build their body weight. to catch their food, they must drive into the freezing ocean. There is so much ice though that to get to open ocean they could have to swim upwards to 50 miles till they finally found it.

There once was the great artic god. He created all the animals that lived in the artic. He lived in anarticia, his house was deep below the land, in the sea. It was a great big iceburge, that was hollowed out. It had a nice room where he had everything he needed. His house had a nice big kitchen, a great big bedroom where he slept, with a nice living room where he spent most his time watching the animals he created. But one of the animals cought his eye, the penguins. When he first created them they were able to fly but soon he relised that it was a bad idea. When the penguins could fly, they would fly in packs like most birds. The penguins would fly for thousands of miles at a time, they would travel all around the world. They all of a sudden

In the arctic ocean, a scientist named Dr. Mr Person, a very intelligent man whose hair is a jungle, and has already cured cancer three years ago in 2017 is working on a Fish-Man Machine in his underwater lab. He is trying to find what is at the bottom of the ocean. This discovery of Earth’s oceans would be outstanding, and he’s going to do it by putting a penguin's flippers and beak with a killer whale's body, tail and head. The only tricky part would be getting the human's knowledge and memories in and out of the Fish-Man Machine.

Magnificent creatures of the land and sea, penguins have been around for a long time. Penguins have adapted well over the course of many years, for swimming and hunting purposes. Everyone knows that penguins are weird birds that can’t fly and have to waddle on land, but what most people don’t know about are the harms that penguins have been exposed to and the fact that many penguins are endangered, if not vulnerable to endangerment. Penguins are incredibly different from other animals and are very important to the food chain, so they should be saved from endangerment.
