Penguins!


    Amazing animals live in the Antarctic regions of the world.  They happen to be Penguins!!  Penguins are very unique animals because they live in the most coldest part of the world.  The reason they are able to live on these cold areas is because they have very stiff feathers to trap in heat.  The black and white feathers on the penguin have nothing to do with weather. They have to do with protection against predators.  When a penguin swims in the water and there is a predator under them, they wouldn't notice because the penguins white tummy blends in with the sun of the surface of water.  When a predator is flying above the penguin, while the penguin is in the water, the penguins black back blends in with the bottom of the waters ground.  Penguins are very unique animals and they do a very good job at living in a cold area of the Antarctic.
