Penguin information report

Hi

This week once we have finished our polar bear information report, we could choose another animal and I chose penguins to write an information report about. We had to get information from a book then a digital book and from the internet. Here is my report about penguins:

Have you seen a penguin before? They are flightless birds although some birds fly. Did you also know that penguins have good hearing and that one species called real can jump 5 feet? If you want to know more facts you should read on.

Penguins eat food like fish, krill and squid. They catch their food by swimming and catch them then eat them. If they do not eat food, they will starve and then die.

A penguin can swim 15 miles per hour and it is really fast. Their flippers are useful because they can catch their food easily. Their feet are webbed or connected to their body so they can swim really fast. 

Penguins have predators and dangers and those dangers kill them. Leopard seals, polar bears, killer whales and foxes kill them. Even rats and cats could kill penguins. Penguins also have natural dangers like pollution and global warming that can kill the penguins.

Penguins live in really, really freezing places like Antarctica, South America, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand but there is one that only the galapagos species lives in and it is on Galapagos island. The galapagos species does not live in the other places in the world apart from Galapagos island.

Penguins have two or one babies at a time. The baby egg is around 12 centimetres long and around 8 centimetres wide. It weighs about 400 grams. Newborn penguins can also be called chicks. When the chick dies, the mother steals another baby.

Penguins are interesting because they swim fast and keep warm by staying together in giant, humongous groups and waddle.
