1: Did you know that Emperor Penguins can travel up to five miles per hour? They can reach these speeds using the water, their aerodynamic bodies, and strong flippers. This just one of the things that these amazing birds can accomplish.
P2: The biome they live in is referred to as an Arctic Tundra, a biome made up of long freezing winters and short cool summers with the land being composed of ice (in some locations). The one we will be focusing on will be located in Antarctica. During the summer, the weather can range from 70 to 80 degrees fahrenheit. It is an extremely dry biome due to the very low precipitation chance. Now that we will move on to biotic and abiotic factors.
P3: In Antarctica, the abiotic factors of the biome are rocks, ice, and glaciers. These are abiotic due to the fact they are non-breathing/non-living beings that provide for the living in the biome. The biotic factors are Phytoplankton, Zooplankton, Squid, Fish, Other Penguins, Seals, Birds (Seabirds), and Whales. These animals are biotic because they are living beings in the biome. …show more content…
With their height being around 3-4 feet tall and with their weight being an average of 84 pounds. They have black bodies, a large torso, white bellies, necks with a yellow that fades into a white, black flippers, and black feet. Their average lifespan is 20 years with their role being predator. Their diet consists of fish, crustaceans, and cephalopods. They live on the coast of Antarctica unlike other penguins. Though they have no set niche, currently when it is time to mate, they move to the mating grounds and mate. After the baby penguins are born, the penguins return back to the sea once more. Before the eggs have hatched though, the fathers have to sit on the egg while the mother penguin is out getting
