Penguins
from National Geographic
Emperor penguins are the largest of the
seventeen species, or kinds, of penguins, and they spend their entire lives
on the cold Antarctic ice and in its waters. They survive -- breeding,
raising young, and eating -- by relying on a number of clever adaptations.

than any other bird."), and the video and audio clips. Links to previous
Creature Features (including polar bears, tigers, and koalas) are found

Focus
on Penguins
Penguins are appealing animals. We tend
to feel a certain kinship with them. Like us, they're social and curious,
they walk upright and care for their young. Besides, they look like they're
wearing tuxedos. Who, besides us, would be so silly?" Best click is the
live video cam (from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. P.S.T) of the blackfooted penguins,
hatched in an aquarium in New Orleans but native to South Africa. "Watch
our exhibit penguins as they hop up on rocks, dive and swim, much like
penguins in the wild." |
