Answer:
Penguins live 45 to 58 degree south so we have to provide them conditions like those.
Explanation:
first of all they should be kept in the low temperature as it is their need. Highest temperature that they can bear is 28 degree.
Water source is needed for them as they are the natural divers so in order to keep their natural condition, a water source should be given. some species spend 80% of life in water and rest on ice-bergs.
their should be enough space for them in order to reproduce and mate.
