First Post!




Of course I am going to start with a post about penguins, my favorite animals!
Here are some fun facts:


  • Penguins are social creatures.
  • They adapt to various climates.
  • They live in large colonies called rookeries.
  • Penguins communicate with each other through body language.
  • They can walk faster than humans.
  • They can hold their breath for about 20 minutes under water.
  • They have more feathers per square inch that keeps them warm in frigid waters.
  • They are counter-shaded for camouflage.
  • Baby penguins have soft feathers known as down.
  • They pick up stones and store them in their crop. This helps them to float when they are in water.
  • They can control blood flow through fat.
