Books I Like by Zeppi.
Hi! I got this new book on Valentine’s Day from Charlotte with a real cool princess, named Cinderella on the cover. I think the cover is so hip because Cinderella was wearing a crown and sunglasses.
Charlotte read this cute story to me and we both giggled a lot while she was reading. It is a story about Princess Cinderella as well as her prince husband wanting to throw a birthday party for their little prince. Sadly, something went wrong before the party started and Princess Cinderella had to fix it. I am not going to spill all of the story. It is better to get the book to be able to also enjoy the plenty fun and colorful pictures there too.
I got to do a quiz at the end of the book and guess what? I had all the answers correct.
Have fun!
Penguins
A group of flightless, aquatic birds living almost alone in the Southern Hemisphere, mostly in Antarctica are called penguins. Penguins adapt better in water, and have countershaded dark as well as white plumage, with wings that have grown to become flippers. A good number of penguins eat fish, krill, squid and other forms of sealife caught while swimming underwater. They generally spend about half of their lives on land and the other half in the oceans.
Penguins are not found only in cold climatic places like Antarctica, even though all penguin species are native to the Southern Hemisphere. Just a few species of penguin live so far south, other species live in temperate zone, and a particular species called the Galápagos penguin, live near the equator.
The emperor penguin are the largest species alive with the adults weighing 35kg or more on the average and 1.1 m tall. The little blue penguin also known as the fairy penguin is the smallest penguin specie which weighs 1kg and stands around 40 cm tall.
Larger penguins among the extant penguins live in colder regions, while the smaller penguins are generally located in temperate or even tropical climates . There were prehistoric species who were said to have been enormous in sizes, becoming as heavy and as tall as an adult human.
Where do Penguins Live?
Although all popular species naturally live in the southern hemisphere, yet it is not impossible to locate penguins in captivity in every continent. Unlike what is generally believed, Penguins do not live only in extremely cold conditions. Even outside Antarctica, Penguins live in desertic regions as well as rocky islands where there are few land predators, for their inability to fly not to be a challenge.
Their habitat range from the Antarctica’s ice shelf,where the emperor penguin lives, to some temperate islands near the equator, where the Galapagos penguin is found. There are also penguins living in South Africa as well as Australia.
