Question

I am a penguin. I live in polar region
covered by snow. My abdomen is
white. My skin is thick with a layer of
fat underneath. My body is spindle-
shaped. My wings are small. My toes
are webbed. We live in flocks.
(a) Why is my skin white and thick
and why is there a thick layer of
fat underneath?
(b) Why do we live in flocks sticking
close to each other?
(C) Which geographical region do I
inhabit? Why?
(d) Which adaptations should you have
to enable you to live permanently
in the polar region? Why?

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Since the Penguins live in cold places, their exposure to the sun is much less and thus, their skin is white which also aids them in camouflage.

The thick layer of fat in their bodies act as insulation to prevent the loss of their inner warmth and heat which helps them fight the frigid cold temperature.

b) Penguins live in flocks sticking to each other inorder to keep themselves warm. They live in extremely cold places so, to keep their body warm and to save themselves from prey they stick to each other.

c) Although all Penguin species are local towards the Southern Hemisphere, they are not discovered just in frosty atmosphere, for example Antarctica. Actually, just a couple of types of penguin live so far south. A few animal varieties are found in the mild zone, and one of the species named the Galapagos penguin lives close to the equator.. In any case, most don't live in Antarctica. Indeed, just two species, in reality, live on the Antarctic coastline - The Emperor (those found in “Spring of the Penguins”) and the Adélie. There are penguins in and around Australia and New Zealand. Their natural surroundings range from the ice shelf on Antarctica, similar to the sovereign penguin, to some mild island close to the equator, similar to the Galapagos penguin. Likewise, some penguin species live in South Africa and Australia.

d) The skin should be very thick and covered with either a dense coat of fur over the epidermal skin layer or thick layer of fat under the skin; just like the polar bear, penguins and seals. The blood vessels should be wrapped with each other to prevent the freezing of the blood. Moreover, there may be antifreeze proteins to prevent the ice crystals from entering the blood.
