Emperor Penguin

Habitat

Emperor Penguins are only found in Antarctica. They live in Antarctica because they are used to the cold temperature. These Penguins breed and raise their young mostly on fast ice.

Behavior

Emperor Penguins are highly social, they all feed and live in large groups. Although they remain with one mate during the breeding season. They normally always pair with the same mate during the next breeding season.

Lifecycle

Emperor Penguins typically live up to 15 - 20 years in the wild. Some of the Emperor penguins have been recorded living up to the maximum lifespan of 40 years. They go from eggs and when they crack they grow from over the years.

Food 

Emperor Penguins feed on Silverfish as well as other species of fish krill they also eat Squid. They eat 2-3 kg per day, on good days they eat twice this much to build up their  body fat for the long winter or for feeding their Baby’s.

Threats 

The greatest threat to Emperor Penguins is climate change, climate change is due to changes in the sea ice they depend on, they depend on it because the food that they eat is in the water.They also have other Threats they are Sea Lions and orcas. If they get too close to them they can get killed.

Timber

This is what I have been reading this week in literacy time. It is called timber which is another word for wood. I hope you enjoy.

 

Dear Mayor Gibson

I think that trees are important because they give us wood and building materials

like house, fences, to make a fire  and keep you warm. 

If we cut so many trees then we will not have Oxygen and if we have no trees then

you would not be alive right now.

Tree planting is an amazing thing to do for the environment.

First you need to find the best spot in your yard. Then you dig a big hole and put the

seeds in. Then you put the dirt bake on top and put a bit of water on the dirt. Then

after about 1 month then it should grow.

Problems about Planting Trees 

The problem about planting trees is that trees can take over 100 years to grow.

People say that they think it only takes 2 years but that is not true. 

Solution- in my opinion I think they should stop cutting down so many trees.
