Emperor penguins special animals


The emperor penguins are name like that because they are the biggest and heaviest penguins they usually food is compound of fish and crustaceans, they high is 1.25 meters, also they can be identified from other penguins for they color, in dorsal side and the head are black, and in the breast they have some yellow lines and a white circle. They have flippers for a marine habitat but they just can be 18 minutes under the water and diving to a depth of 535 meters, but in order to get this depth they need to suspend some of they non-necessary organs functions. The emperor penguins also can support low temperatures, the air may reach -40°C and wind may reach 140 km/h, the water is almost ice it have a temperature of -1.8°C approximately, this is some of the reasons they have a very warm plumage. Most of the emperor penguins live 23 years but some are registered with 48 year.



In my personal opinion I can say that the emperor penguins are a very especial animal because it have some characteristics that cant be find in any other penguin or animal, also I thing that we should be more conscious of try to take care of the oceans because all the trash we trough is going to the poles and this damage the penguins environment, other human problem that damage penguins is global warming because as we all know the global warming melts poles and the penguins as the polar bears and some other animals are loosing their environment.
