Why do penguins only live 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.

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.

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.

Question 1: The Antarctic is an isolated road, all covered with glaciers, while the Arctic is an extension of the Eurasian and American continents, and the geographical environment of the two is different. The polar bear is a high-level carnivore, in the upper layer of the food chain, there are many low-level animals in the support of it, and the Antarctic is without these low-level animals, even if the polar bear is put in the South Pole, it cannot survive, so there are no bears in Antarctica.

Question 2: Actually, a long time ago, there was a species of penguin in the Arctic, but now it is extinct. This penguin, known as the "Arctic Great Penguin", is 60 centimeters tall, with a brown head and black feathers on its back, much like a night dress.

Foreign gentleman. They live in Scandinavia, Canada, and the current regions of northern Russia, as well as all.

on islands in the Arctic and subarctic. At its peak, there were millions of them.

About 1,000 years ago, the Vikings spotted the great penguins. From then on, the great penguin's doom came. Especially the 16th century.

Later, the Arctic exploration boom led to the giant penguin being hunted by explorers, navigators and indigenous peoples. For a long time.

The indiscriminate hunting led to the complete extinction of the Arctic great penguins.

The ancestors of penguins living in the Antarctic region today developed south of the equator.

Scientists speculate that the reason why they don't continue their journey north to the Northern Hemisphere may be that penguins can't tolerate the warm waters of the tropics.

The northernmost limit of their range is very much in line with the line of the 20 region of the average annual temperature. Warm equatorial currents and higher.

The temperature forms a natural barrier that prevents the penguins from crossing the equator to the north. They must stay in the snow and ice from Antarctica.

Melted water or colder currents from the deep sea pass through the sea.
