    Because each place has its own rules of survival, penguins live in Antarctica, just like if northerners suddenly go to the south to survive, there will be all kinds of water and soil adaptation, I think if penguins are transported to Antarctica, penguins may not be able to survive.

    Because the climate and environment of the Arctic are not suitable for the survival of penguins, if the penguins are transported to the Arctic, the penguins will die because they cannot adapt.

    They can't survive because the temperature difference between the North Pole and the South Pole is relatively large, the North Pole is hotter than the South Pole, and penguins prefer extremely cold environments. The environment of the Arctic is not suitable for penguins.

    No.

    First of allThe penguins' own strength does not allow them to reach the Northern Hemisphere. Penguins are birds with completely degraded flight ability, and as you can see from their precarious walking posture, penguins are very weak in their ability to survive on land, and it is almost impossible to reach the North Pole by land.

    Secondly, artificially sending penguins to the North Pole has already been done once. In 1936 and 1938, 69 penguins were released in Norway near the Arctic, in the hope that they would continue to thrive.

    Hope is good, but the reality is somewhat unsatisfactory. After a few years, people walked all over the Arctic without finding a trace of penguins. It turns out that penguins simply cannot survive in the Arctic.

    Because in addition to polar bears, there are many carnivores in the Arctic region, such as arctic foxes, arctic wolves, killer whales, walruses, eagle owls, etc. In the face of these predators, the penguins have no ability to resist at all, and can only add a delicious meal to these carnivores.

    Moreover, when penguins are transported to the North Pole, the breeding habits of penguins cannot be changed immediately, and once the breeding season is reached, the spring and summer seasons in the southern hemisphere are winter in the northern hemisphere. Newborn penguins are not able to withstand the cold because their fluff has not grown, and they cannot withstand the first winter at all.

    Penguin habits.

    1.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.

    2.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.

    3.Penguins can swim nimbly and easily in the water, but this ability may negate their ability to fly. Penguins swim very fast, with emperor penguins swimming about 10 kilometers an hour and white-capped penguins swimming 36 kilometers in an hour, making them the fastest of all birds.

    The reason there are no penguins in the Arctic is that the penguins in the Arctic are extinct.

    The extinction of penguins in the Arctic is inextricably linked to European explorers who invaded the Arctic. Penguins' meat is plump, and the crew uses penguins as food for shock, and their feathers are very ornamental, and after being brought back to Europe, they become auction items, because they are very scarce and precious, so many European hunters set their sights on the North Pole and began to kill them recklessly.

    In this way, there are fewer and fewer penguins in the Arctic, and there are even many scientists, who say that in order to protect penguins, they will buy them, which also exacerbates the rate of penguin extinction.

    When a group of hunters arrived in the North Atlantic in 1844, they found the Arctic penguins, and in the face of the guns, the Arctic penguins had no ability to fight back when they heard the gunshots.

    After that, the Arctic penguins fell to the ground, and the last penguin egg was crushed in a panic, which is the most important reason for the extinction of Arctic penguins. For the above reasons, penguins were formed in Antarctica, polar bears.

    Why are there no penguins in the Arctic?

    People call penguins the boat of the sea, and this is a very, very old bird. They are distributed around the world with a total of 18 species, most of which live in the southern hemisphere, among these many species, only the emperor penguin is the largest, with an average height of about 1 kilometer and a weight of more than 70 catties, the smallest penguin is the little blue penguin It also has a name called fairy penguin, its height is only 40 centimeters, and its weight is about one kilogram, the body structure of these two birds is similar, and unlike the body structure of other animals, their feather density is about three to four times that of birds of the same body shape, which allows them to regulate their body temperature and thus survive in the cold Antarctic.

    Although their feet are similar to those of other birds, their skeletons are stiffer, and their feet are shorter, flatter. This structure, combined with their short wings, allows them to swim quickly across the ocean floor. The place where they live is very cold, they have experienced thousands of years of wind and rain, and the feathers on their bodies have formed a special shape, so that they can live well in the extremely cold Antarctic, where there is more land and the sea is wider, and the abundant marine life provides good food for the penguins**.

    They usually live in the southern part of the equator, where they are barely visible. Some of them live in cold places, and the other part lives in tropical areas, but they don't like hot places, they only have fun in cold places, therefore, the number of penguins living in Antarctica, which is extremely far away and extremely cold, is the largest number of penguins, where they like to live, in different places, their lifestyles are different, emperor penguins generally like to play on sea ice or ice shelves, Jintu penguins have other penguins, they not only like to play on sea ice, but also like to play on open rocks without ice cubesThere are also penguins that build their nests on pebbles, and they eat some plankton in the ocean as their main food, and their favorite food is Antarctic krill, but sometimes they also eat some animals like squid and small fish. They have a good appetite and can basically eat about a kilogram of food per day per penguin.

    So they are a very important link in the Antarctic biological chain. They are chubby, gentle and generous, although they seem a little arrogant, but when people approach them, they are not afraid to run away, but like no one, some penguins are also shy and don't know what to do, it may be that they haven't seen too many people, and they are curious, because they grow in different places and different environments, so they breed differently. Some penguins are not afraid of hardship, they go far to their ancestors' nests to lay eggs, different penguins breed different times a year, basically no more than three times, at the same time, they can also lay eggs at one time, and the number is very small, usually no more than three.

    Penguins also have their own natural predators, and seals, sea lions, and other animals in the ocean will start preparing when they are ready to enter the water, and when they see an opportunity, they will immediately act to eat them.

    Because the weather in the Arctic is very cold and there are many glaciers, penguins are a cold-loving animal, and the Arctic has their food, so they can only live in the Arctic.

  9. Anonymous users2024-01-29

    Because the climate in the Arctic is very cold, penguins also like this cold climate the most, and other places are not so cold, and it is not suitable for penguins to live, so they can only live in the Arctic.

    This is because only the temperature in the Arctic is ideal for penguins to survive, and some Arctic creatures are very suitable for penguin food.

    Because only the Arctic climate is suitable for the survival of penguins, and penguins can only find their own food in the Arctic.

    Because the weather and environment in the Arctic are more suitable for penguins to survive, they are more likely to survive.

    Big brother, penguins only live in the Antarctic, and there are no penguins in the North Pole.

    No. Rationale:

    1. No penguin has ever lived in the Arctic for many years, and no penguin can tolerate temperatures above 30 degrees. Penguins are born in the Southern Hemisphere, and the earliest known penguin fossil was in New Zealand, 62 million years ago. The environment determines the survival of penguins, the Antarctic Circle is mainly Antarctica, is land, after going deep inland, the temperature is lower, about 20 degrees lower than the North Pole, and it is unusually dry, even more than the Sahara Desert, which is not suitable for the survival of any creature, and the creatures of Antarctica are limited to penguins that live by the sea, as well as mosses and other low-level plants.

    2. Judging from the current situation, penguins cannot survive in the Arctic Circle. The ancestors of penguins living in the Antarctic region today developed south of the equator. Scientists speculate that the reason why they do not continue northward into the Northern Hemisphere may be that penguins cannot tolerate the warm waters of the tropics, and that the northernmost limit of their range is very much in line with the line of the 20 region of average annual temperatures.

    Warm equatorial currents and higher temperatures form a natural barrier that prevents penguins from moving north across the equator, and they must stay in the sea where melted water from the Antarctic or colder currents from the deep ocean pass through.

Antarctic penguins prefer to live in groups, with hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, and the largest number even more than 10.2 million. Flocks of penguins can often be seen congregating on the ice shelves of the Antarctic continent, or on the sea ice and ice floes around Antarctica. Sometimes, they march in one direction, like a well-trained guard of honor, waiting and welcoming visitors from afar; Sometimes they are lined up in equally distanced and spaced squares, like athletes performing in group gymnastics, and the formation is very neat and spectacular. >>>More
