How far are the North Star and Antarctic penguins from the original text

Penguins live in Antarctica.

They live in very cold polar regions. The North and South Poles are polar regions, but penguins only live in the Antarctic region, and many penguin species currently live in the Antarctic region. In the Arctic, there are no penguins.

Penguins are able to live and breed in cold climates. On land, it lives like a Western gentleman in a tuxedo, walking, swaying, encountering danger, falling and climbing, embarrassed. But in the water, the penguin's short wings become a powerful pair of "paddles", which can swim at speeds of up to 25-30 kilometers per hour.

You can travel 160 kilometers in one day. It mainly feeds on krill, squid, and small fish.

Habits. Penguins feed on marine zooplankton, mainly Antarctic krill, and sometimes some brachiopods, squid, and small fish. Penguins have a good appetite and each penguin eats an average kilogram of food per day, mainly Antarctic krill.

Thus, penguins play an important role in the Southern Ocean food chain as predators. Penguins prey on about 33.17 million tonnes of krill in Antarctica, accounting for 90% of the total consumption of Antarctic birds and equivalent to half of the krill preyed by whales.

Penguins have a simple, generous temperament, and are very cute. Although the penguins are extraordinary, a little arrogant, and even domineering, when people approach them, they do not look away, sometimes as if nothing happened, sometimes as if they were shy and overwhelmed, and sometimes they look around, talk to each other, and chirp.

1. Antarctica.

2. There are no penguins in the Arctic.

3. The ice-covered Antarctica is the main place for penguins to survive and breed. In addition to Antarctica, penguins are found on many islands in the Southern Hemisphere, and even on the Galapagos Islands, located near the equator.

4. However, in the Arctic region, which also has a cold climate and vast ice and snow, there is no penguin in sight, which is quite puzzling.

5. Penguins are one of the most adorable animals on earth. There are a total of 17 species of penguins in the world, all of which are distributed in the Southern Hemisphere; There are about 8 species in the Antarctic and subantarctic regions.

There used to be penguins, which were already extinct in the 19th century due to massive human hunting.

More than 500 years ago, the early navigators of Europe found a kind of "big bird" that is black from the back and white from the front, and cannot fly on some islands near the North Pole. People call this cute big bird "penguin".

Later, the navigators came to some islands in the Antarctic Sea, and saw "the Arctic animals they were familiar with", which they thought were distributed at both ends of the earth, and also called them "penguin" (penguins).

In fact, these two birds are not related at all. But just as people were hailing the discovery of "penguins" in Antarctica, the eponymous bird in the Arctic ushered in their catastrophe, and the bird became extinct in the early summer of 1844 due to a large number of human killings. Since then, Penguin's name has officially been given to this "penguin" discovered after Antarctica, which translates into Chinese as "penguin".

The extinct Arctic bird, first known as penguin, was later called the Great Puffin (greatest auk).
